Uncle Tony's response to Direct Connection

What im saying is taking off 5 thousands is easy as far as honing or removing stock and what if I recall I stated was a 5 thousandths cut is removing 10
Are you a machinist? Or have you ever done lathe work? Did I call myself a machinist?

So read it again removing .005 gives you ten thousandth's. its not a lot of stock to remove per se,,,, thats all I said......I never addressed piston to wall clearance as that was not the point at hand and yes your correct that would a as you stated massive amount of material when fitting pistons.


Yes, taking .005 with a hone is easy. What difference does that make? The hole is still too big.
