Went and double checked my work and realized I put the float arm on top of the retainer clip on the needle instead of in between the needle and retainer clip...
Can't speak for him...I'm just stating my experience with 550 cast iron cylinders in hi performance applications like racing and using dual cooling.
Took me a long time to figure this out. I learned that when I leaned out the mixture screws to run really good on the top end it would seize...
Wiseco's recommended clearance is for STOCK engine guidelines...so I'm going to disagree on following Wiseco's spec's for a hi-performance application using dual cooling.
