It is the space between the top of the piston and the bottom of the cylinder head. Great care should be used when putting an engine back together to make sure the bump clearance is not 0 so that the piston will not hit the head cylinder.

What is a debranded computer?
This is a name brand computer that has had the brand logos removed, often to sell at clearance prices with the intent of not creating an image of their products sold at discount.

Meaning of cam ground of piston?
Aluminum expands much more than Cast Iron, so when the piston to cylinder wal clearance is measured at room temperature there must an allowance to allow for expansion when the piston heats up. The amount of clearance depends upon the design of the engine and the anticipated operating temperature. Air-cooled engines run very hot so they require more clearance than water-cooled engines. On a Cushman piston the reference point for more clearance than water-cooled engines. On a Cushman piston the reference point for clearance measurements is at the top of the skirt perpendicular to the piston pin All areas of the piston do not expand the same; the top of the piston runs the hottest so it expands the most. The skirt runs the coolest so it expands the least. For this reason the diameter at top of the piston will normally be smaller, and the diameter at the bottom of the skirt will normally be a little larger, than the diameter at the top of the skirt. Also, the piston does not expand the same all the way around its circumference. The diameter measured across the piston pin will expand more than the diameter-measured perpendicular to the piston pin. Therefore, the piston is "cam ground", or made slightly oval, with the smaller diameter measured across the piston pin. When the piston heats up to operating temperature it will then be round. If the piston were not cam ground, the to operating temperature it will then be round. If the piston were not cam ground, the piston to cylinder wall clearance would have to be extremely high when the engine was cold to allow for expansion, and it would not be round when at operating temperature. This could cause piston slap and other problems. piston to cylinder wall clearance would have to be extremely high when the engine was cold piston to cylinder wall clearance would have to be extremely high when the engine was cold to allow for expansion, and it would not be round when at operating temperature. This could cause piston slap and other problems Cushman engines are usually set to a clearance of about .006 inch measured at the reference point described in paragraph one. The clearance at operating temperature will be much less, and if sufficient allowance is not made for expansion, the piston will expand to much less, and if sufficient allowance is not made for expansion, the piston will expand to the diameter the cylinder wall and freeze up. During break-in everything is running extra the diameter the cylinder wall and freeze up. hot due to the increased friction, and the piston temperatures get very high. If the engine is run at high speeds during this period it will almost always freeze up and may damage the run at high speeds during this period it will almost always freeze up and may damage the engine The following measurements are from a Cushman NOS +.030 cam ground piston Top of skirt perpendicular to the piston pin 3.024 (.006 clearance) Top of skirt measured across piston pin 3.011 Bottom of skirt perpendicular to pin 3.025 Bottom of skirt parallel to piston pin 3.012 Top of Piston and ring lands 3.005 In this case the clearance to a nominal 3.000 inch cylinder bore is .006 inch, the elliptica amount is .013, the skirt is .001 larger at the bottom than at the top, and the top of the piston is .019 less than the widest point on the skirt. These measurements are for llustration only and individual pistons may vary considerably
Why would the size of the objects and text on your video display suddenly decrease in size?
This happens sometimes because you bump the wrong combination of keys or your hand slips on the mouse. You can go into your computers video display and fix it immediately.
Can a high performance motorcycle or should I say superbike pass a tall speed bump?
depends on the ground clearance of your bike
Why does the Mitsubishi 1999 eclipse have a bump in da hood?
89-99 eclipses and talons have it. So do lasers but they only lasted till like 94 I think cause there all the same car. The bump is for the your timing belt. It gives it extra clearance. It only helps give clearance for the 4g63 turbo eclipses. The 420a engined gs/rs eclipses the bump serves no purpis other than make some idiots think your cars turbo.
