so i have a dumb question.. i have my engine torn down to the heads and case and was my cylinders (i think) are kinda rusty (the little fins on it)
if i wanted to get a new cylinder/piston kit yada yada... can i get a "big bore" 96mm kit? I didn't know if going with the big kit would require any modifying of the heads or case or something.. or if it would "bolt up" just like the stock parts. pardon the noobness (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I was gonna get the cylinders redone because they are rusty/look "dead"... wanted to spruce it up a little.. i saw a kit for around 300 for the stock size and was only a little more for the 96mm.. so i figured why not... im not tryin to build a high performance engine here.. i just wanted it to be reliable and wanted to go through it and replace seals and gaskets...
i may nix the cam idea and splliting the case and stop at replacing the cylinders/pistons... i will take the heads to someone to have them cleaned and checked for cracks... assuming they ARE cracked, isnt it better to find out now instead of later once i put it all back together? here's some pics of where im at |
