you're good....once you get to 88mm, then the head needs to be modified.

Okay cool thanks for the reply i guess ill get an 87 then, this project seems like it will be lengthy, i just painted the frame and am ordering the piston, then ill send it out to get bored, then i will have to figure out my power valve crisis and the lacking front brake, But by the time its done it should ride really nice and ill have a piece of mind knowing everything thats needed fixing has gotten it.

shes not much right now but i can say she's 100% mine :0
The real kicker for me is i ordered a 86mm piston just find find out i wasted my time and needs to get bored out (sorry about the whining, you could say i have dirt bike fever, i only got this last month and have ridden it a handful of times )
Im looking forward to riding it at mx338(southwick ma) this spring
