[QUOTE="Jfoster, post: 5499708, member: 41003"] When the spec is say.. .003 clearance, does that mean overall, or per side? So would it really be .0015 away on either side? Just had a block machined. Machine shop is good, but I'm paranoid. The pistons seemed to go in pretty tight... not that I had to force them or anything, just seemed pretty close. Maybe it's because I just put together an 01 Cobra motor with a bunch of stock parts and things were pretty loose? Usually, you can push on the top and bottom of the piston and get "some" rock. This one moves just a little, but not nearly as much as the already driven stock 01 I just put together... Thanks Jeff [/QUOTE]
