Bill,
I have mahle pistons and top guided rods. My clearance on the pistons measures at 1.0605 according to my trusty cheapo digital caliper. The rod end is .8105, so I guess that means I need thrust washers around .125 each (.25 total).
Does that sound about right? Obviously need twelve. Do you have some you could sell me? How much including shipping? You take paypal?
On another note, I had to shorten my wrist pins in a hurry last summer. Got longer ones than would fit in the piston (couldn't get clips in. Shortened them to fit. I need to go back now and true them all up to length and weight. Is there a length range that is where they should be?
Thx!
