I put solder in the c shape and did both sides of both pistons numrous times and could not get the same reading as taking the head off and doing it the correct way. I was .003 to .005 bigger every single time. It is not accurate imo. If you stick it through the head and your getting a reading closeto the low end of your range you wanna be. You may be off. This was my experiance so take it for what its worth.

I figure if your going to spend all that money on a motor whats 10 min doing it right.

I agree and will be checking it by taking the head off and doing it properly

make sure you keep orings in there. I donit through the plug hole. I do both sides at once and one side at a time. reads accurate everytime.

Yea that's strange.

I've noticed that though. One day it's one answer, the next time it's a different answer.

No biggy though.

In all fairness, now that I think about it ,it was 3yrs ago. Maybe at the time he was still learning his preferred method to check it.

I tried both holes at once but one side or the other would let the solder drop into a port.

Roll the piston up higher before inserting solder.

Correct me if I am wrong but your still gonna have to do it twice in order to check both as one piston is traveling down while the other is going up so it would still expose the ports on one cylinder possibly allowing the solder to drop in the exh port if you tried to both at once .

O rings or "NO"  O rings ?

[sprinklerman]

Personally , last time I mocked one up, I used the mating surface orings, but not the stud or top shell orings.

Now I just have my builder mock it all up and all I have to do is assemble.

That is how i measured, I'm kind of thinking that when you torque down the head the o rings smash enough to nor really worry about. i measured with the o rings.. better safe then assuming.
