Gusha etc,

Excuse my hyperbole, but in the past there have been some elementary questions already fully examined that are asked a few days later ands have gotten to 30-40 posts with confusion reigning supreme.

By the post number in your post, Guscha, yours is post #20 which is closing in hard on the technical definition of "dozens".

I wish to apologize to all for the error on the part of my employee who didn't follow proper procedure. He should have gone "up the chain" to get the info for the customer.

His company car, a 12 cylinder 55 1/2 Caribbean with a rear turbocharged slant six drivinghte front wheels and a front V6 driving the rear wheels has been recalled and his is now driving a 41 2 cylnder Crosley with a body of Miracle Cardboardium.

Now to the pistons, ours are aluminum autothermic with a steel strut, just like the origianls but of an improved alloy. Clearance is .0015 to .002.

I again apologize for our failure to provide the info .

Hopwever this forum is better than one I ran across last night where a member got info from a supplier and said
'..... the supplier could have made a mistake or he could have been lying' . A good "heads up' for all those on forums. The clearance, .0015 to .002. Never thought about it but I could be wrong or maybe lying. I'm taking a poll, send your opinion to me with a crisp $10 bill.
