So, Dan's engine was built up by Richard Fallucca of Antique Engine Rebuildingin Skokie, Illinois. Info here:http://www.antiqueenginerebuilding.com/index.htmlI'm wondering if he might field a quick question on a phone call, asking aboutthe recommended piston/cylinder clearance on these engines? The parts page onhis website shows the Chevy pistons, so he's certainly familiar with their usein this application. My suggestion is to ask the question very generally, NOTas an airplane question.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2014 20:19:44 -0500Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Piper cub struts.
