1985 250es. Has stock bore, I ordered a .50 over piston kit. I took the jug and piston to a race shop for the bore and he asked what clearance it called for. I said I'd check the service manual and he said I should check with the piston mfg instead. It's a armortech piston and I can't seem to find info. Does anyone know what the clearance should be in the new bore? Thanks

Remember to give the piston o the mechanic as well as the motor, never have a cylinder bored without the piston there with it.

yep, I took the piston too... He just needed to know the piston to bore clearance needed. Ebay seller replied almost instantly with the answer though.... I certainly didn't expect that! Incase anyone cares it is .002

Thanks for taking the time to read this guys!
