MotulMonsta Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 Pay particular attention to the rig gap and placement. that will make or break your motor. Also use all new hdwr, don't bother trying to re-use the piston retainer rings or bearings. Place a rag abound the base of the case..that rymes so as not to let any harmfull debris enter the bottom end. Use oil generously to lube up everything prior to istallation. coat the cylinders and pistons in it then cycle the motor by hand with the head off to check for binding and smooth motion. Also cheak to make shure te piston height is within specs. Check the ports on he motor for burs, if there are any smooth them out with sandpaper 400 grit or better to keep them from snagging a ring. Chech the cylinders for glazing and a good cross-hattch pattern visible by the intersecting lines which should be even and visible throughout the entire bore. Quote
