Woolfman Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 I could be wrong but they should be pretty snug. You sure it hasn't been bored over? Quote

LOL, I did not see that he was a new comer. Probably pissed him all of now. Hopefully he got the useful part of my post. I know what to add to my sig now though, "Periods and commas are like seat belts, only useful when used". K, I am no English major anyway. Quote
4stroker Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 um did you have rings on the piston when you put it in the hole lol? Quote
Woolfman Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 um did you have rings on the piston when you put it in the hole lol? I should of thought to ask that LOL! Quote
blowit Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 yep sure did Then you surely have an issue. There is no way an engine will run if the tolerance is so wide that a piston "with rings on it" falls through the hole. I recommend a clymers manual first. Then pull a piston ring and check the ring end gap per the manual and let us know what you have. Are these new pistons? You have what is categorized as a "loose" situation. I prefer tight myself.

Woolfman Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 So with the rings on the piston is lose and will drop right through? I don't think that is good. Sounds like you should buy the next size up on pistons and have it bored out. I sent my pistons with so my machinist could match it perfect. I rebuilt mine last year and with the rings on it was nice and snug, and now it is still running like a raped ape. Quote
Blue rocket Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Posted February 21, 2009 its not a lot of movement you still have to push on the piston pretty good to get it to go in. i got bored last night and decided to put it back together. runs fine going to ride it around a little tomarow to break it in a bit. i thank its going to be ok well we will see.

sleeper06 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 It might run. But how long??????????????? Quote
Woolfman Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 If you bored it I hope you got the bigger pistons for the bigger bore. Quote
Blue rocket Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Posted February 21, 2009 yeah bumbed it up one size. its all good now, Quote
