RE: C3AE-C rods and forged pistons? Pitfalls?
By R. Hunt - 11/20/2004 8:48:31 AM; IP 162.40.31.248
Almost forgot to ask, what is the piston to cylinder wall clearance supposed to be for these pistons? I have looked everywhere and cannot find this information.

I would probably be right if I said that these cylinders are not to tight for these pistons. This engine has been dissassembled and honed and reassembled at least twice and getting ready ro a third honing. Also having close to 20,000 miles on it since being bored must have increased the clearances a bit. I'll check everything out just to be sure though. I can get the piston to wall clearances right on the money. The balance problem and solution just isn't something I have any experience with.

Is it possible to machine enough weight off of these pistons to solve the balance issue if needed? Or do you have to take material off of the rods too?

Sorry fo asking so many questions.
This thread, so far...
