Hi Jason,<div><br></div><div>They have this listed on their website:</div><div><br></div><div><span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:19px;background-color:rgb(62,62,62)">PISTON CLEARANCE: With 2618 alloy, top of skirt .008 to .010. Bottom of skirt: .005 to .007". Air cooled engines usually require more clearance.</span><br><br>Now I’m not sure if they are talking about forged pistons, or otherwise. I have forged Venolias in my TR4, and they certainly have more clearance cold than non forged pistons, if that helps.
