[QUOTE="mercurycrest, post: 24854, member: 64"] I've stuck my C Comet three times riding two-up in the hills around here. The last time (a couple of years ago, by now) the clearance was .0045 and I stuffed it in the shed in disgust. I set my A Comet up with .007 and it works perfectly! They shared a set of 7-1 Omegas. Maybe, it's because what we call hills, you call mountains, but I'm thinking a hard working Comet needs the safety margin. What's the point of tight clearances anyhow? I put my D together well over 80,000 miles ago with .0055" clearance, Specialoids and Perfect Circle Rings from a Chevy LUV, it doesn't use oil.. Cheers, John p.s. Irene just glanced at this and said; "Well, that's all you can do." [/QUOTE]
