Just re ring or buy new pistons and rings

[slobanshee]

I've decided to finalky get the cylinders ported on the wife's bike. It's a 4mil 68mm PV cheetah on gas. Its been together a few years. Never any issues. Still has 153/154 kicking compression. I have it all tore down. The cylinders and pistons look great. Would you re ring it and do a light home to knock the glaze off. Or whole new pistons and rings with honing?

i would run it if ur comp has not dropped.

Find pw clearance. That will tell you..

if the pistons check out, id re ring and hone it, as  its apart anyway.

If the ring end gap and the piston to wall is good just keep running it if you dont want to put money out. But imo putting new rings on used pistons is kind of a waste.

I used to do that as a kid when rings were $10

With the abundance of aftermarket competition you are better off ordering the entire top end. I'd mic the pistons and cylinders to see what clearance is before anything else.

WTF?

If everything is in spec run it. Otherwise I'd do new pistons and rings.
