<DIV>1 cubic inch is 16.4 CC’s. The combustion chamber is at least 49cc’s and
likely larger towards 54cc’s (or more, I don’t have my combustion chamber
numbers floating off the top of my head). The clay is pliable and would only
squeeze into a void area of which there is at least three times its volume in
space. And think of it this way, the cylinder pressure is upward of 150 PSI -
and that is even before ignition. My guess it is HIGHLY improbable that
the clay being offset would cause a piston skirt to crack. Push a piece of clay
under your finger and see that the finger doesn’t bottom out on the surface it
is pushed onto with virtually no clay underneath.</DIV>

<DIV class=gmail_default>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?</DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default> </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default>Is there any other potential weak area that could be
cracked by piston to head interference with clay in between?</DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default> </DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default>I hesitate to disassemble the engine to search for
possible part cracking if the clay interference is really incapable of causing
something to crack.</DIV></DIV></DIV>
