<< There is no reason for the piston to touch the cylinder wall >> OK Mike, I realize that it need not, but how come there are countless books written with chapters on the process of good running fits on pistons. I find this interesting as I am just now refurbishing a cylinder that was in my scrap pile. When I ran it, I had a lot of blowby and when I took the piston out there was .015 difference between the bore. I did not measure the oring dimension but I suspect that was more the trouble. I actually have ruined more piston cutting the groove than missing that diameter. I just love it when the tool grabs the work and bends the rod and all! Bob
