1994 V-Max 4 piston to cylinder clearance?.

[kimoaj]

Hi guys!

Tomorrow I`m tearing into a friends V-Max 4 engine, one piston is crushed. Skirts broken off, messy.

I`ve removed the head, when one of the pistons that arent crushed are at TDC, and I push it with a finger, I can easily rock it back and forth, seems to be WAY to much piston to cylinder clearance.

Therefor I wonder how much clearance there should be so that I can measure it tomorrow when I break it down.

I will make a worklog in the worklog section.

Hi guys ! Thanks.

0.065mm, that is less then 1/10mm right?.

Today I tore the engine apart, measured the clearance on one piston/cylinder, 0.3mm!!.

Going to make a worklog now.. .

Thanks again!!
