Not whole, anyway...

thats what i was thinking... so id have to re sleeve or bore out and replate to fit in? cant really be bothered with that

Well, in the olden days a 1mm oversize would have been referred to as "40 thou oversize". That's 40 thousandths of an inch.

That's quite a big oversize...so you'll need to bore it out...

cant you just get a piston the right size? or did the mikati damage the bore?

**honda_power** · 15th December 2009, 18:16

yeah right sized piston will be fine i was just looking at it because of the price.

**bogan** · 15th December 2009, 18:18

didnt you learn your lesson after the mitikai?

**honda_power** · 15th December 2009, 18:20

Yeap...

The worst part is i now have to split it to get the bits of piston out

best of luck getting them all out, don't want em destroying any bearings. Had a bearing flog out in a cr i owned, one of the balls went up through the barrel and imbedded itself a good 3mm in the head, taking big gouges along the way.
