Piston Skirt Diameter and Bore Clearance

[tnova]

I'm in the middle of overhauling my 160,000 mile '91 #1773. The engine is surprising clean inside with no damage, just stretched chains, worn chain guides, bearing worn (to the copper on 1/2) but not scratches, and a third of the lifters pitted. Only three of the liners have just barely fingernail catching scratches. All liners are +0.004" - +0.007" over stock 3.897" I'm looking to replace them. As for pistons, all are good so far but I haven't mic'd piston skirts or the pins/pins bores.

What I'm looking for is the piston skirt specs. I've searched the previous forums for days (thanks for the step-by-step on rebuild) but I can't find that dimension. Does anyone have the piston diameter at the skirt specification.

Keeping the bottom stock to pass CA smog. GVD has the heads, IH, and IP for porting.

A chat with any of the experienced tuners (for example, Marc Haibeck) would probably provide a wealth of information relating to a rebuild. I know Marc, and I am sure several of the others, would be glad to talk with you. Marc's website is www.zr1specialist.com--Bob (http://www.zr1specialist.com--Bob)
