But not 2 mm differenceAdvertised as the same but in actuality not the same slightly smaller as to allow for heat expansion.

You do realise that 2mm is only 5/64 of an inch, right???...Take a look at a piston outside a motor with the rings on it and measure it, then measure it when you compress the rings against the ring pins and tell us what you come up with for a measurement...And that is not even counting for heat expansion...You just might be very surprised.But not 2 mm difference
From what I understand piston to cylinder clearance should only be around 0.07 mm. Can anyone else chime in on this and correct me if I'm wrongYou do realise that 2mm is only 5/64 of an inch, right???...Take a look at a piston outside a motor with the rings on it and measure it, then measure it when you compress the rings against the ring pins and tell us what you come up with for a measurement...And that is not even counting for heat expansion...You just might be very surprised.
I just went and measured my Zeda 80 that I'm going to swap on to 4X and it is .007. You might want to check again.From what I understand piston to cylinder clearance should only be around 0.07 mm. Can anyone else chime in on this and correct me if I'm wrong
The name is Bond...James Bond...lol.and it is .007.
Oh I missed a zero. I knew it was way less than 2 mm. With 2 mm of clearance it wouldn't last too longI just went and measured my Zeda 80 that I'm going to swap on to 4X and it is .007. You might want to check again.
