Do you really think I'm in trouble with .022 piston to head quench clearance cold? I think clearance should increase to .030 or so when hot. The piston should rock less when it expands and reduces bore clearance from .005 to let's say .002 at temperature.

I've read in various magazines that .035 is a good clearance and .030 bare minimum. I always assumed that was a measurement taken on center? My on center clearance is .035. Bad assumption, poor source?
