I have purchased +.020" Hepolite pistons from RGM for my motor and had a local machinist bore the barrels to suit. Having had work done by him previously to a good standard I did not check anything before I fitted the pistons and rings to the barrels, etc. As I was having what I thought was pushrod trouble and had to remove the head on the bench I decided to slip a feeler gauge down the side of the piston in the bore at TDC just to see what the clearance was. The measurement that I got surprised me and now has me worried.
My question is: Is the piston the same diameter at the bottom of the skirt as it is at the top above where the piston rings are fitted?
Thanks Don
