[s-cars] getting her back together

[Philip Mische]

Hey Elija,

I've read the responses to your querry, and I'm surprised to find the lack
of interest on the part of the group about piston-to-wall clearances.  You
really, really should measure all the pistons with a micrometer, arrange
them by size, and measure all the bores with a bore gauge at the top,
middle, and bottom of the cylinder.  Best way I've found to measure the
bores is to 'zero' the bore gauge sized on the biggest piston, then measure
the clearances directly.  That way you can verify the clearances are within
spec (hopefully) and get the pistons into the most appropriate holes.
