piston too tall for cylinder?


Recommended Posts

what up fellas. so i just got done puttin my new top end on my bike after installing a 4mill crank and i now have a little problem. when i turn the motor over, as the piston reaches tdc the top ring goes past the top of the cylinder and gets stuck making it impossible to turn completely over. makes me think i need to run a spacer plate at the bottom of my cylinders to fix this but, i thought having my domes cut for the longer stroke meant i wouldnt need a spacer. also, if i run a plate after having my cylinders ported for the longer stroke won't it throw the port timings and what not off? and im not sure if it matters but i'm running stock pistons (cylinders are on stock bore). only thing i can think of is either i do need a spacer plate and just misunderstood when you do or don't need to run one or my crank isn't really a 4mill crank.....? any ideas?
