Purely a theoretical answer, if you are looking for a cause of the gap shrinking when hot, then the fact the cooling air is applied to the cylinders could cause this. In a steady state engine with everything up to temp, and the cooling applied to the cylinder fins, this could cause the cylinders to be cooler than the rods, crank and pistons, thereby reducing the gap. I doubt this happens in reality though due to oil cooling.
