Re: Clearance around bags

I was always told a finger gap between the bag and anything it could touch.Anything the bag rubs on could rub a hole in it over time since its rubber.

Re: Clearance around bags

Why not go w/a smaller OD bag? The 7" bag is better suited for the front weight bias on a truck.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

That was an option that I thought about as well.

I just really did not want to go through the hassle of selling these bags, buying new, etc.

Seems easier vs the option of cutting & opening up the notch more since it appears a little thin as-is (might just be the angle on the pics).
