HI guys

Wondering if you can help , I need the valve guide clearences for a set of Jun Valve guides, Jun say it is 1/100mm - 5/100mm, but thats like very very small.

Maybe you guys can shed some light on this.

Also wondering if anyone knows the clearenceon the pistons, we have lost the sheet that comes with the Jun 2.7 Liter kit.

Jus does not provide piston to wall clearances with their pistons/kits other then what is on the box.
last set i had was 87.1mm for bore/hone

Arnt bores always bored to a whole size ? and the clearance is on the piston ?
ie:, 86.000 mm bore standard / piston at 90 degrees to pin on skirt is 85.925 etc: .....
Ist oversize is 86.500mm piston is 85.4300 etc: ....
Unless building a very special clearanced engine ....and or you want to run your own "special" clearance.
Various pistons have differing expansion control either as a result of silicone content (forged)etc: or steel inserts etc: (cast) and obviously skirt design.
Before you start a flaming war about exact piston clearances and measuring each one and honing the bore to give .001 different clearnace, Im assuming we are talking "I have this set of pistons" and dont know what clearance to run....

See above.

.001 to .005 , is that stem to guide id you mean ?
Or is that the interference fit in the head.?

Usually a block is bored to a specific size and then each cylinder is honed to suit each piston (if there is a variation in pistons sizes which is very uncommon now days.)

If all pistons measure the same, the block is finish honed to give the required clearance, usually around 0.003 to 0.005 thou.

Its extreemly foolish to buy 86.5mm pistons for example then get the block bored and honed to 86.5 or 86.5 + clearance without measuring the pistons first, checking the sizes and honing to the correct clearance.

Just out of curiosity, what does a .5mm o/s piston measure across the skirt 90 degrees to pin ?
I remember engines that you could easily hear "rattle" until they warmed up , they ran forged pistons with up tp .6mm clearance.
One particular "Ford" (spits on floor) engine in a rally car ...
You should pretty much always run the tightest fit you can get away with....(reliably)
