Subject: Re: [Fot] 89MM piston question
I've always used 87 MM due to the rules but everybody else seems to be using
89. The procedures are the same so It'll be the same. I blew a head gasket last
time out, compression into the cooling system and blew off the bottom hose. I
guess it wasn't tight enough, and scuffed two pistons before I could shut it
down.

Bob,
It is definitely necessary to make that modification to the liners. The relieve
should correspond to the shape of the combustion chambers : about 4 mm wide on
a 89mm engine.

Onderwerp: [Fot] 89MM piston question
Do the guys running the 89MM pistons and liners need to relieve the liners to
clear the intake valve, or does the extra MM make the difference?
