  T/S????

Also I read piston clearance is around
>  .0012" Is this correct? Seems kind of tight. IS the clearance specs right?

  That's correct.  That's the reason many rebuilds will not be up to spec.
Most machine shops will all but REFUSE to bore that tight.  Mine wanted
to bore to almost .0025 because another car place has them do it to that. :o
I had to show them in black and white to get them to do it right.  Otherwise
I'd expect them to be bored almost to wear limit!
