Oversized Piston- spec needed
I am rebuilding my sons 78 with suzuki motor and machine shop is installing oversized piston and machining- does anyone know what the piston to wall clearance should be? No local cat dealers here for them to call and get spec from.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I removed the governor and put a 2.0 needle in the carb. Also went to .040 piston and rings. No other mods to the motor. Just dont want to reassemble and blow it up- sounds like I need to find a nice way to tell the machine shop they overbored and now its going to cost them a new jug.
Thanks again- great to have so much knowledge available- I cant find such about my zrt 600.

Dont think I do- I actually found a local guy who used to rebuild these and he told me that the .003 would be ok as long as I am not racing. SO I am taking the chance and I reaseembled it this afternoon- it runs great once its warmed up when cold I have to give it gas or it stalls. Hauled me across the yard with no problems.
Thanks kidsperformance for your help and advice - if you have any thoughts about the stalling when cold I would be happy to hear them.
