Rich Built My engine too.. and I still feel like he does great work.
I just got an email back from him and he says .003 and that's where mine were.
So do I have a clearance problem ? I took the bad piston to a friend yesterday
and just said "what do you think" he says it looks like it got tight.
and the discussion went to A-65's and back to "open it up" and that a looser fit
wouldn't hurt anything
here are pics... labeled 1-2-3
#1 is nearest the prop

Hey,
After looking at these pics. I am wondering if the rod bearing were put in the
rods backwards? Was the bearing with the oil hole installed on the rod end,
or in the cap end. The bearing with the oil hole should be installed in the rod
side to provide oil to the piston pin and help cool the piston. It seems like
a no brainer but I have seen stuff like this happen more than once.
Worth checking,

With gaulding like that you will need to hone the block out before reassembly.
Just doing that will give you more clearance.

Hi,
I'm really excited about this trailer wheel idea. I'm currently building a Pietenpol
(wooden landing gear) and I've seen the wire moto wheels/tire and they look
great but - as a young self-employed person the cost is too much for me. The
trailer wheels seem like a great idea!
By the way - You said the trailer wheels might not look the best - actually I think
with a little work they could actually look pretty cool!
What type of brakes did you use? Do you have any recommendations on axle and hubs?
This is my first plane so I hope you don't mind - but I'm learning to be rather
shameless in begging for knowledge from more experienced builders - so any info/ideas
you might have would be much appreciated.
Thanks...

Curious... two rubbed at the widest point, the other was just the opposite...
Baffled. Did you ever find out if they are cast or forged pistons? That could
explain the need for more clearance.

I have seen these same problems first hand. I have been working on building a new
engine with the help of my engine builder and we have been worried about the
new aftermarket "China" pistons. Decided to have Ross make new forged pistons
and they said they need at least 9 thousandths wall to piston clearance. Also
for a airplane running a prop he did not like how the thrust washers go in and
the bearing clearance for the insert mains. We are changing all. He also said
he can improve the oil system a lot which we are doing. Got a new Scat crankshaft
and rods which are way better than other new overseas made balanced crankshafts.

OK So it need to get:
Lightweight Ceconite (1.8OZ)
Ceconite New Super Seam 1 QT (Or Eko Bond glue?)
Ceconite Hand Thread 250, Stits Hand Sewing Thread? flat stitch cord
3"Curved Needle or home made needle, (welding rod)
2" Pinked tapes
1" cheapest Home Depot type brush I could find
A good old iron and use the same extension cord every time. And mark the
three settings.
An IR thermometer. (I had one and it has sprouted legs. Also good to use if
you have a bad plug to check for the cold jug)
And one custom tool for the cement. glue a coffee can lid to the bottom of
a Dixie cup for stability, then used another Dixie cup inside the first to
put the glue in. After each glue session just replace the inner cup.
and don't use a heat gun, no matter what.
Anything else?
Do I need the Ceconite manual? I would have loved to attend Oshkosh and a
homebuilders class. Indeed I had planned on coming, but life intervened.
