[QUOTE="Carbd86GT, post: 10293305, member: 15339"] I wouldn't worry about a little piston noise, fairly common with the mod motors. With the compression and RPM those motors turn, they can make some heat, so they will need the extra clearance for exact reason they stated. Not to mention, most owners won't let the engine warm up at idle before driving, so that's another reason why they give it a little extra clearance. Would you rather them tighten up the piston to wall clearance so that you can start the car with temps below 40* and when you get on the highway a few times, the pistons start scoring up the walls and you start cracking ringlands? The engine is fine, the trans part should hopefully be fixed soon, but these cars haven't been through a winter yet so some issues will come up with stuff like this. [/QUOTE]
