Default Piston knock...how much clearance?
I'm about to tear my engine (331 stroker) apart to trace a knock (only done 400 miles) I'll check all the usual things, but roughly how much clearance should I expect to find from my pistons at the bottom of the bores (trying to eliminate piston knock as the cause) I asked the engine shop to re-bore with 3thou clearance (recommended by the piston mfr)
Thanks
Simon
