Dave... I really liked your .055 piston to head clearance as a minimum
number...
and I agree on your minimum thickness... thou I wouldn't change anything if
it had more... I like around 200 on a forged piston as well.... ( keep in
mind that I do brutal things to pistons )
I think the real key to this equation is to come up with the compression
ratio of choice and work backwards from there...
The edges of the pistons are going to have Huge quanity's of material... so
I just don't think that's a factor... Having the wrong compression ration
on the other hand can be ugly...
