Re: Piston clearance spec for rebuild

You have already contacted Kanter to find out the type & since they say the factory spec is good they must be NOS or a good repro'd steel or aluminum alloy & possibly the factory spec is reasonable. If they are the cast aluminum Egge type I believe Kanter used to (or maybe still does) sell, then the factory clearance is not enough and they will seize. I have first hand experience on this with Egge pistons. Has your machinist determined if they have the steel strut or are just ordinary cast.
