Cylinder wall thickness
Just curious I keep reading about sonic mapping of cylinders to check wall thickness.Is there any consensus as to minimum thicknes on thrust surface for non blower or nitrous applications.You guys obviously have thoughts on this subject and I would like to hear your opinions or observations.Thanks in advance.
