Yes .*** is a relatively large end gap. For a naturally aspirated build the end gap would be .*** or .***. The more power you are running/the more heat you have in your combustion chambers the larger your end gap needs to be because yes the gap closes up due to thermal expansion.

Seriously though, is the amount of gap going to close up any measurable amount due to thermal expansion? I don't know the gap spec for various motors or anything to use as reference but that's almost a 1/32" gap and seems rather big.
This may be a stupid question as it seems I must have overlooked something here. |
