I am rebuilding a hercules IXB-3 out of a cletrac HG 42. i'm using .030 over cast iron pistons but can't find the specs for piston clearance, any info would be appreciated.

That is the correct spec for that engine.   A good rule of thumb to use if you can't find a spec. is 0.001/in of bore.

BTW, end gap on the rings is 0.15-0.20 and clearance in the groove is 0.0015-.0025.
