my question is the stock bore 75mm vitara pistons, ive herd will give me piston slap? correct me if im wrong.

if i did 75.5mm pistons, is it posible to hone the shat out of it? if so, dose anyone have a piston to cyclinder wall clearance spec?? :y :y :S

The piston will make the engine sound like a diesel... no matter what P2W clearance you use..
In my Y7 i had .006 P2W clearance and never had a single problem with blow by or Compression lost in over 2 years of daily driving.

If you are aiming for 350+whp then you should atleast put it to .004 P2W

Re: dont really want piston slap with vitaras?

I am wondering the same thing, does the slap make the pistons lose life? also, fjt, has anyone installed the i beams for a d series to know for sure if there is no notching required? just curious thanks
