Pistons & Rod combo or piston's

Back in the day...?

My Je pistons are slap happy when cold. My ptw is right around .004. They quiet down when they get warm.

Stock pistons don't expand much at all, so being tight isn't much of a concern. Back in the day, JE pistons had a reputation for growing quite a bit because of the material they used, and PtW needed to be really loose to compensate. Needless to say, there was audible piston slap when they were cold.

Ha, I thought they might have changed that by now. That was the reason I've been using Wiseco's all these years. JE was the piston of choice for the Buschur motors back around 2001.
