[Tigers] Restated: Mistake in Performing Tiger's Valve Clearance Check

[Rob Hogan]

BECAUSE approximately a 1 sq. in. small flat of modelling clay was placed
(not near the piston's periphery) in the squish area of the piston instead
of only under the head's combustion pocket, would the assembled piston and
rod's rotation have caused the piston to cant in the cylinder bore enough
to crack a piston skirt?

Is there any other potential weak area that could be cracked by piston to
head interference with clay in between?

I hesitate to disassemble the engine to search for possible part cracking
if the clay interference is really incapable of causing something to crack.
