What is everyone allowing on the diameter for piston to valve clearance.
If i have the valve centerline marked on the piston and i am using say a 2.02" valve what would be the minimum be on the od??? Would 2.050" be ok????

Thanks, Keith

Keith i take the intake valve dia. and add .100 th. to that dia.then set your cutter for 1.060 from the center of the cutter to the end of the tool. this will give you .050 clearance around the valve.
