Wow...my brain is fried. I was thinking about the clearance issue....I was shooting for halfway between F5 and F81M specs from the factory...but then there is the wiseco piston issue...I read the posts here, and then some about wiseco clearances, etc. I went back to my spreadsheet to see what I had because it did seem I was shooting for a high clearance, based on an old service manual...
I had slowed down when the piston started to just about go into the cylinder...I didnt go too far beyond that point when I took several measurements and did an average. Well, as luck would have it, I was paying more attention to the average than the actual measurements....made a boo boo in my spreadsheet calculation for the average....forgetting to put the additions in parantheses....
the average said .58 something or other..... but looking at my measurements, they were not in that range. fixed my average and it came out to .00175 for my clearance as it stands. As I said, it felt right
So, my mistake with the average calc saved my ass I reckon. I can give it a little more breathing room perhaps...after I take 38 more measurements that is.
Oh, and the hone I used was the 15000 with the micrometer knob and replaceable stones, they are held fixed and move in and out with the knob, changeable stones...it runs 2 stones and 2 felt wipers at once. The pivot it is on makes it rather self centering.
losing my mind over truing the crank at the moment.
I got both needles to swing the same, .005 right now, but my maximum and minimum are happening at 90 and 270 degrees in respect to the pin vs. the indicator needles. For a pinch or spread, Id have expected to have the range peak and/or diminish at 0 and 180.
