hello 3ww I am an new member but a long time reader
I am currently rebuilding my original 85 200x motor from my running auto x (this bike was left out for years and even flooded in hurricane sandy)
ive been working on it for months to get the piston out (top end was seized tight)
I finally got the piston to move but on the last hit I cracked the bottom of the sleeve my local shop wants 300 to re-sleeve only (I have been told it cant even be done that the jug is cast around the sleeve)
my question is for a replacement jug I have read that the any Honda 200 top ends are interchangeable but cannot find definitive answer for the jug
I can get a oem used 200 jug on ebay for $50 or a reproduction kit for 75 (has anyone used this kit thoughts? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cylinder-Piston-Rings-Kit-196CM3-63-5mm-Bore-200cc-Honda-ATC200-XL185-200-XR200-/172272755160?hash=item281c41a1d8:g:rB8AAOSwygJXhrq d&vxp=mtr
my question is is this actually compatable as I have also read that the stroke is different on different models that it will fit but may have low compresson or hit the head
any thoughts on the aftermarket jug/heads on ebay anyone ever use them
thanks again and I hope to contribute and get help from this forum
also I am looking to buy a liquid cooled r not sure where to post that so I figured id add here are there classifieds on this site
let me know if I posted too much different things again new to forum
