piston movement/noise
karlosthejackel:
electronic caliper yes.
other thingy no!
sandblaster:
Ok, it can be difficult to use the back side of the calipers to measure the bore.
Although it's not unusual for the top of the bore to be tighter then the bottom as there is virtually no wear at the top.
If you were to measure the bore about a 1/2" from the top you would likely get a larger reading.
karlosthejackel:
Im off to a meeting on the KTM tomorrow ill try see if someone has a tele gauge. Im guessing if the readings are all over the place it will need another liner?
sandblaster:
Worst case scenario you can have the liner bored to the next size up that gives full clean up.

that's the route I'd go regardless, since a new piston is needed anyhow, might as well keep everything uniformly new.
