I looked in two different manuals and cannot find the specified clearance. One says 4 thou is the service limit but no mention of running clearance.
Anyone know?

Thanks, I missed that. 0.0018" in one reference and .0016 to .0020" in the other. I can work with that data.

All models to 1973 but should be OK for all iron bore engines (triples with separate carbs.)
Proof that four strokes are over complicated
