Hello again,
I dont think I am going to get crank bearings as the ones in my new case halves turn very easily with no binding or anything, so I will just use those. I did order a gasket set that should be here soon.
The rod bearings are really tight but we might get a crankshaft off ebay anyway because the flywhel nut threads were stripped, I fixed them, it would probably work, but If we can get that crank for cheap we will buy it.
Anyway now time for the stupid part
. When I measured the cylinder before I had the micrometer set wrong, I had it set to 2.751 instead of 2.756. So I measured it again and now it is only .003 to .006" wore depending on where I measure it. I think that will be OK for standard bore even if it is out of spec a little. So now my questions are:
I need a set of standard rings for this thing. I found a Wiseco set on ebay. Is that only for Wiseco pistons or will it fit my honda piston too?
I also measured the piston again with the micrometer and it measured 2.744" at the bottom of the skirt. But then I checked the clearance with a feeler guage(attached pic) and and the 0.006" guage fit snug. I think that is good enough??
Also attached is a picture of the crack in the lower piston skirt. Im afraid if I leave it it might break off and screw something up? But if I broke the little piece off and filed the edge smooth would it affect porting, etc.?
Thanks,
Ryan
