nuc_welder Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 O.k well been looking around with no luck, I just bought a set of cylinders the guy said they're stock bore. Just want to know what the conversion ratio is from mm to in. (or what a stock bore is in inches) I dont have any way to measure metric stuff. Quote

nuc_welder Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Posted March 3, 2009 So it should mic. out at 2.519 in(for a 64mm bore)? Quote
nuc_welder Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Posted April 3, 2009 Ok well I mic'd my cylinders today, they measured 2.545" which converts to 64.643mm, so I would need to buy a set of 64.50 pistons right, if not what size do I need? Quote
bama boy Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 You can get 64.5mm pistons which are .30 over. Thats what my banshee is. If your clearances are too much then you prob need to get it bored. Thats just my 2 cents. Still kinda new at this but I do know that much. Quote
bama boy Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 OOPS. correction on my last reply. It would be .20 over at 64.5mm Sorry bout that!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
twizted269 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 you can take it to any shop and they will measure what it is on check if it needs a bore. they should do it for free. Quote
toolman Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 You need a bore guage to check your cylinders. You need to measure 3 places the same direction as the piston pin and three places 90 degree's to the pin. This will give you the taper of the cylinders and tell you if they are out of round. Clymers manual spec,s Taper limit .05mm or .002 in. Out of round .01mm or .0004 in. I have also been told you should not buy pistons to fit cylinders because each pistons is different. You should buy pistons and have the cylinders bored to them. Quote
nuc_welder Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Posted April 6, 2009 Well I've been looking at pistons on ebay and I seen some M&H pistons on there half the price of wiseco. Anyone run these before or know if they're any good? Quote
