Thread: dodge 360 piston skirt clearance

Tweet

When I checked the piston clearance It said i had .011 of claerance I checked this on tdc on the top part of the piston using feeler gauge. Is that the right way to do this? If it is, I think I have way to much clearance.

no, you have to get the feeler gauge down past the rings, 90 degrees from the axis of the wrist pin.

When I checked it at the skirt it said I had .002 clearance. Is that to much?

it would have to do with the pistons are cast hyper or forged if cast they are fine i put new cast pistons in at 001.5 on a new bore for stock use and run them bigger if run hard and hot so you should be fine
