Perfect. Sure its not the same as actually getting on the track but that video has taught me a thing or two already

I'll likely be short a piston, so I'll have to thrash you all on my 50

MB100 piston?
I think we mentioned before we have some, can't remember if they would be of use or not.

A very real posibility considering how long it takes me to learn a new track. I dont expect to get anywhere close to the fast locals, just need to finish in front of Rick

Good luck with that, he surprised me last time being able to beat me on my 50 on his first visit.

Thanks for the piston offer, but I need 2nd oversize. I have std & 1st over. New piston on the way though. Doubt it will be here on time.

You may have more luck asking (bludging, scroungeing, begging, jewing) for std size cylinders.

**F5 Dave** · 29th March 2012, 15:18

I have 2 of those, but they need modification to become full case reed & a squat load of porting. + this setup is for interim & the final setup requires more machining & interim port job will spoil the cylinder for going to next stage.

YZ Piston in sorting somewhere in the US.

Trudi has a .75 and a 1.0 brand new.

**F5 Dave** · 29th March 2012, 16:52

Thanks but they are another size up. YZ is 50mm so a 4th os is 51mm. Std MB is 50.5, so .75 is 51.25. Nice to know in case it all goes tits up later.

1mm over is a tickle over 103cc so still legal. a 1.25 over if there was such a thing would be a smidgen illegal.

and still 85cc smaller than Rich's motor.

and 90% less reliable.

Hmm, ya' know, I'm not sure you can say that

"YOU" haven't fallen off after "I've" exploded an engine, eh?

I'm the only one been taken out when "my" engine has exploded and I'm not blaming that explosion on the engine, it was purely rider fault.
