.001? That's super tight. I would have thought .003 to .005

The H535CP's in my 460 said .0015 min clearance, and that is a 4.390" piston!!Speed pro does not list a maximum number, however. Greg

thats right they do list bigger clearances for bigger bores , which makes sense, but for bores around 4" they list .001, for all makes with hyper. It is unusual for them not too list a range such as .001-.002 , I would be worried myself . Sadly I don't believe you'll be able to get anyone on the horn to adress your q's cause its such a big corporation.
