So, I have question. I have a redtop SR I'm in the process of rebuilding. The block is at the shop right now and they took some measurements for me today to see if I needed to bore the cylinders out. The measurement they got were-
Pistons (Grade 2) - 86.0044mm
Cylinders (Grade 2) - 86.0552mm
Giving me a clearance of .0508mm
The factory specifies that clearance should not exceed .010-.030mm which mine does by .0208mm or .0008in.
My question is would this really hurt me? As long as my piston rings are gapped correctly, it shouldn't really effect performance right?
