[Fot] Question 1: Cosworth Piston Clearances

[Bob]

Testing my memory, but I recall using Cosworths in a Datsun 2000. Got 
them from a fella in Virginia that passed away several years ago. He 
supplied alot of performance parts for Triumphs and Datsun. Maybe some 
else can remember his name and business name. I recall the recommended 
piston clearance to be .004 - .007. Don't know the piston material other 
than forged aluminum.
