550 piston-to-deck clearance?
« on: September 01, 2009, 10:38:19 AM »
Anyone happen to know the stock piston-to-deck clearance of the 550 at TDC? Took mine apart before I measured it.  ::)

The one I have apart now was 0.4mm (0.016") with a stock gasket.

Thanks! I can't figure out how the Gentleman's Express pistons were supposed to be only 10:1, because the number I get from their work (modeled it up in CAD) is around 11.2:1. Hmm.
