piston movement/noise
Foxx4Beaver:
ahh...I didn't catch that...no it would've been installed by a previous owner.
it's not necessarily a bad thing, providing it was installed right...ports matched/cleaned-up..etc...sleeve isn't sticking up above the cylinder, you'd know if that was an issue as it would overheat and use coolant.
karlosthejackel:
looks ok to me. As its a liner is it plated?
Foxx4Beaver:
more than likely, no, at least from what I can tell in the pic...but I have heard of guys plating sleeves.
I'd still have that bore measured either way before you buy a new piston and such....one of the #1 reasons a piston cracks is due to excessive piston to cylinder wall clearance.
karlosthejackel:
Ive tried to measure with electronic caliper im getting 85.95 at the skirt end and 85.5 at the top
sandblaster:
What kind of caliper did you use?
Was it a Digital Vernier Caliper like this?
If so, did you use a Telescoping Gage along with your caliper?
