kingsley Posted September 15, 2014 Report Posted September 15, 2014 Hi everyone, I managed to bust a ring on my left piston and its put nice groove down the side of the Serval bore. The right side is still like new and the bores have done very little work. Can i just repair the bore and recoat back to standard (421cc) on that side or would i be better off boring out the damage on both sides and go over size. At this stage im up for atleast one piston and dome. I have a 7mm crank still in the box so am i better off just buying a new 7mm Serval with pistons and domes? P.s im in Australia so any repair would have to include shipping back to the states. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 This definitely means down time for sure. Lots of it. It'll definitely need to go to Millenium Technologies or U.S. Chrome. Call both and see who is most familiar with shipping over seas and knows the ins and outs of customs paperwork. Quote

kingsley Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Posted September 16, 2014 DDU sounds a bit dirty to me. Il have a chat with him, he is about 2500Miles from me but might have some usefull contacts. In the mean time i have been able to speak to a workshop in Melbourne who knows these bores and is confident to weld the damaged section, replate it and supply a piston for around the $500AU mark. Seems like a no brainer to me. One last question...... Can someone recomend a supplier who can supply one 22cc coolhead dome to suit the blaster piston? The other side is still fine. Thanks guys!
