Rob,
Seems like you would shave equal amounts off the piston skirts. Bob HAwkes

Subject: Engine Questions from Rob Prins
Rob is having trouble posting, so he asked me to send this to the list:
It's been a couple months since I stripped the engine on my Ambo and I'm
having trouble remembering some things. Is there supposed to be a gasket on
the front main bearing? I didn't get one with my gasket set, and I don't
see one in the parts book, but I would like to confirm that with someone who
knows.
Also, I bought new Gilardoni kits. According to the repair manual, the
pistons should be within '1.5 grammes' of eachother. Mine are 3 grams
different from eachother. Has anyone run into this? Is there a good place
to shave material? I think 3 grams of Aluminum is a 3/8" x 3/8" x 3/8" cube
which seems like a lot of material to remove. Any help?
