>An air cooled engine must have sloppy tolerances because of the tremendous expansion/contraction as a result of the great temp range in which it must

>>So how do you explain the "sloppy tolerances" of a jet engine?-- It too is air cooled.<<

>>>Jeez, wasn't "cylinders" enough of a hint? Just add piston in front of engine.<<<

Wouldn´t a piston added to the front end of a jet engine disturb the airflow and make the cooling worse, thus requiring even bigger tolerances???
