Piston Clearance

Featured Replies

Hi Guys

anyone out there got an old Datasheet from Rotax for the 280engine with the max. / min. Piston clearance, max piston ring gap and any other useful bits ?

I've got a service manual from Can Am and they state on the 280 motor that it is supposed to be .003"- .005" on the piston clearance. I will look later and get the rest of the info. I set mine up at .0025 basically a tight 2 and 1/2". That is on my TL 320.

From Peter Knight for 240cc, might be of some relevance ? Your In Box full ?

Clearance min 0.07mm max 0.09mm (skirt)

Squish 1.25mm - 1.50mm

"In box" private message box.

Squish - distance between piston and cylinder head at tdc. I needed that as I went from 240 to 250cc.

If you do have to adjust the squish it can be done on a lathe as it is a centre plug hole.

Hi Ross

no need for me to change the squish (or combustion area)

Yes the "In box" was full, its now almost empty
