KB - 96mm pistons and stock overbored steel barrels. I'm getting ready to ring the pistons and check/set the gap. I believe the gap should be about .006", but can't remember and can't perform a search for some reason (some virus has dissed me).
I placed a ring in the top of the barrel and the gap was around .021". That's a bit over .006". Am I measuring it the right way? I measured my pistons and yes they are 96mm. Of course I 'll second guess myself and check again. Thanks dudes. Wow, post #100! I'm getting up there! |
