[AJD] Piston clearance

[Don Shehi]

Don't forget, you may have to look at the groves that the rings go in.  They
may have to cut deeper.  Also the ends of the rings may have to be ground
down to have the proper clearance in the smaller cylinder.  Just some
thoughts on the subject.

I've sleeved my 29' D and left the bore slightly undersize of the stock 
6-3/4" size so that I can turn my worn out pistons down to fit.  I think it 
will work.

Anyway, I need the list's expert advise on how much piston-to-cylinder 
clearance I need to leave.   Anyone?
