Is there any fresh piston to wall clearance info for stock LS2 ?
I got my hands on a unit which dealer had replaced under warranty due to excessive noise, possibly piston related but not necessarily... Clearances measured were ~.002. #1 was ~.0025 and out of round by .001.
Any ideas where these clearances should be ?

OK found it here
