149 rebuild
J-Mech, I slid a .005 ribbon in and slid the piston in. Very light resistance as I pulled out the ribbon. Slid in a .006 and then the piston. Using two fingers on the ribbon, had a pretty good resistance. Then checked it in four places as you stated. Had pretty much the same resistance at each point. Then tried a .007 ribbon and piston was a little hard to get in and ribbon had a lot harder pull to get out. I concluded the gap was .006. Thanks for your help and have a great day.
