    My comments on the piston clearance should be clarified. The best thing of
course is to contact the manufacturer and ask their advice on THEIR pistons,
BUT, if you don't have any idea who made that devil, or when, you might try my
method.

     In the olden days the clearance for forged pistons was generally about
.006" and there was only one company that I knew  that had the new aluminum
compounds.  That was Cosworth and at that time they didn't want to know about
little guys racing funny little cars from out nowhere..
