Because I have a set of cheap Chinese jugs idk what to do with. I have an OEM set but piston I took out said 65.45mm. only one more rebuild before it needs re-sleved. Too much money.I also have a set of OEM jugs still at stock 64mm. And I have a set of wiesco pro lite 64.5 pistons.. why pay for extra driveline money when I just need a set of jugs ported to fit new pistons. Plan to use the driveline stealth head. Won't know dome size to use until I get them ported.

Was hoping maybe true stocker would work with this top end kit

Totally agree. Thank you for the advice.. i didn't want to use cheap jugs for porting, just have them layong around.Just wanted to see if anyone else had used cheap jugs for simple rebuild or have modded a cheap jug.. just trying to figure out what to do with the top end kit

That's why I asked if anyone has had or would do port work on an off brand cheap jug???? Because I have one, and after reading for 2 days seems like I better not trust the piston. But don't have much to go on with the cheap jugs. Use or dont?

Will do.. AZ sells a lot of top end kits. I figured on a banshee forum, someone would have spent $100 for cheap jugs pistons, and would know what they were or were not about

Have you ever been to a demo derby? Enough said. Older cars had better steal. So why not older jugs and the sleves inside them being made from better metal then an $100 pair of ebay jugs you can buy today? They are cheap for a reason. Don't think they (cheap jugs) could support a port job and 75hp? Or am I incorrect?

What do you mean? Cheap jugs are better then OEM or can be? Do you think cheap $100 ebay jugs and piston can hold up to basic mods and last as long as an OEM jug? I don't think a pro bike builder would even port an ebay cylinder, correct me if I'm wrong? I have both and would like to use the cheap set one day for something

metal was better in older cars, should be better in a 30yr old banshee jug.. agree too much foreign cheap shit out there

Just got lucky and found a set of OEM 64mm used for $100 bill. Not $400

Awesome, good to hear. I figured I'd get bottom end with new crank sealed and be piston shopping. Save the cheapies jugs/pistons for a quick fix n flip bike. So shelf the Namura kit it is. Thanks

Has anyone ever ran cheap Namura piston kit? What is to expect? How long of life? What compression?

I think, I'm going to try to just do an intake clean up on cheap shit and run them until they blow, until I can find a set to ship off and have ported and re-bored

Yea, I thought so too on finding a stock set for $100.. eBay has everyone on fb and craigslist taxing $200 and up for a set of jugs..

I ment stock piston are at 65.45mm
