I think G force only really do V8 engines.
jase: What type of engine did you have rebuilt, are they able to carry out machine work and balancing?

with the forgies, make sure the builder machines the block for the correct clearance.
For that size piston, I 'think'(no responsibility taken! ) its 26-28 thou at the ringland, and 3.5 thou at the skirt. Call Australian Precision Engine Parts to check.
Will you be changing the rings?
Cheers

I had a rebuild on a 3sgte.
Had flow work done on the head, manifold matched, bore, lighten, full balance, and assembly.
They were REALLY good. Never a leak anywhere!
