josef9177 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Hi all I bought a wsm platinum series banshee/rz 350 64mm Pistons for my rd 350 aircooled. But unfortunately when the Pistons came there is no manufacturer recommended clearence on the package. When I asked the ebay seller about clearence I got a reply of .0030" to .0035" of clearence which I believe is for liquid cooled motors? Since I plan to use it in a aircooled rd 350 with a cast iron liner what clearence should I run? Thanks Quote
dirtydownunder Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 contact wsm, or check out their page, they might have specs on there. if not shoot them an email. Quote
Surfrjag Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Most of the ones I have seen were .002" if I remember right Quote
josef9177 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Posted February 17, 2015 Their website doesn't even given an email to contact so forget about clearence help from them... Quote
josef9177 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Posted February 17, 2015 Surfrjag are u sure it's for aircooled rd 350 clearence? So that's about 50 microns clearence..still a bit on the higherside for a cast piston? Quote
trickedcarbine Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Check Mac dizzy or even figure out your OEM clearances Quote
josef9177 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Posted February 17, 2015 Oem rd 350 aircooleds came with art Pistons and clearence was 35 microns ... Quote
Surfrjag Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 No but.. tdr sells them I bet he would know Quote
Surfrjag Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 I did some reading.. I would go with .0018-.002" Quote
sleeper06 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 .0035 , sometimes I go tad bigger depending on output of engine , they grow a lot so I like to set them a lil loose , that clearance number came from Chris at wsm in Bohemia ny Quote
josef9177 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Posted February 17, 2015 Sleeper06 that clearence must be for LC barrels ? Quote
