B23 piston fit-the rebuild continues... 700 88

posted by  someone claiming to be Rene Svastal on  Wed Dec 6 06:00 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I have never rebuilt an engine before, this i my first attempt. I just go the B23 block back from the machine shop who bored it to the first oversize with Mahle B23ET pistons from Mike Aero (Unitek). How tight/loose are the pistons (without rings) supposed to be in the cylinders? Mine are not tight. They are not overly loose either though. I really don't know how it is supposed to feel. Insight please?

Thanks,

Rene
