the Orion had stock 0.65 between piston and button...I didn't change anything yet

I suggest test n tune and run the engine as tight as it will allow you to run it... first sign of trouble is a hanging idle that won't tune out..different fuels and conditions play a big role in what the ideal head clearances are .
