Best Answer

The clearance between the piston and cylinder is maintained by the piston rings, the ring centers the piston within the cylinder bore and is the device that seals the cylinder bore and creates and maintains the pressure created by the piston movement in the bore. When assembling an engine you will need to check and set end gap of the rings, this is done by centering the new ring in the bore and measuring the gap between the ring ends, you can measure this distance with feeler gauges and adjust by filing the ends of the rings to increase to the recommended tolerance, this tolerance is measured in .000 of an inch and different engines require different end gaps. This end gap is determined by the diameter of the bore with the greater the bore diameter than the greater the end gap,.

That depends on the cam. If it's hydraulic there would be preload, not clearance. If it's solid, you'd need the manufacturer's cam card to set the correct backlash.
