fg engine rebuild

[LeighD]

Hi, I am going to build an engine with JE pistons. The pistons have been shipped out to me but I haven't received them yet. I gather that they recommend 0.004" clearance to the bores normally but then they recommend a further 0.001 - 0.003" clearance for supercharged or turbo charged applications. Did any of you guys add some additional clearance?

I use a YellaTerra flex plate. DYNO-MITE have done 3 Atomic plates under warranty and wont use the Atomic plates anymore.

 

Dion also wont use the Atomic head studs.

 

My engine uses atomic timing gear and race pump, JE pistons. 

 

I spent a week at the DYNO-MITE work shop and saw a number of other Atomic parts that had failed including a major component of an Atomic 998 engine only 2000kms old.

 

There are no silver bullets and things break!
