Just use the clearances for one of the steel liner motors like the
Convert or the early SP or G5.

Hi All, I'm planning on using an (existing) set of iron lined cyls. while I save up the $$ for a set of nikasil jugs. unfortunately it looks like a botched liner install -- there was 0 piston/cyl clearance at the top of the bores! Matter of fact, the cyls were even a bit undersized. There was also a bit of taper to the bores. My local machine shoppe will ream them out, I only need to know what piston/cyl clearances I need. Guzziology says to add .001" to the plated clearance figures. I'll probably go with this figure. Am I asking for trouble trying to rework these liners? jeff |
