Waiting on alex to get me the bore spec wiseco wants for the 88mm piston.. Ideal would be to have the piston, and have the bore fitted to it (.004" clearance)
It should be bore spec of 88mm.. and wiseco undersizes their piston to work... But want to be 100% sure before I drop off Jug..
anyone else know for sure?
The joys of every single piston mnf just having to be differant..

Yeah, he really is going the extra mile. I'm going to have to make sure I get him tightened up on the other end. I'm someone that can't let a person do this much work for free. I like being on the giving end, not the recieving. But his help is very much welcomed with my low funds.

Goat:
Very nice work Motorrad! I'll have to keep you in mind for the next re-build.
IcemanK5:
Keep in mind that I had this work done about a year ago threw another member.
When Dave got my clynder and head assem. he took a look at it and told me what he found.
I head was stock and the piston was windowed. There was supposed to be some porting and polishing done and some new parts that I paid for (650.00).
After I talked to Dave I was very disapointed in what He had to say about the work that was done before.
But we live and learn.!
Now with talkng with Dave and what he is doing for me I'm sure there is going to be a bigger difference in the way it ran from before.
The bike ran good before on the fresh head and piston assem. but none of the work was done to it.
The work Dave is doing is not going to be massive, it's just going to be done right and some mild work.
So now I'm a little gitty just to see the difference between the before and after with the work done right..........time will tell.
Kurt
