Thanks I asked ross in a e-mail pretty much the same question but was a different part number (99539). Their response was: "The pistons are cut at 2.300 we recommend at least .050 radial clearance around the valve. You probably could get away with a 2.250 but it will be tight. You will have to clay the top of the piston and check the clearance" Last edited by willie_68coronet; 01/19/10 11:18 PM.
