It looks like my 2.0 cylinders were bored too big. My ring gap is .028", which isnt right for my 96mm KB pistons. I do have another set of 1.8 cylinders laying around. Are they dimensionally the same as a set of 2.0 cylinders? Can I just bore out the 1.8 cylinders to the proper size for my 96 pistons?

Yep-
Your best bet is to send me those for cores and buy my 96mm set based on bored cylinders. When boring cylinders they must be done in a torque plate and things like skirt clearance and cylinder roughnessaverages can add guesswork and increase the chaces of having a bad experience... |
