If you have a PDF reader installed. Try right clicking and saving it to your hard drive and then open it.

I myself use Foxit Reader for PDF files, not Adobe.

I see that your close to Monroe. I have a brother that lives in LaSalle.

Ok i will try it and see what happens.

All firefoxs fault, it didn't allow me to properly download adobe reader.

One question on the timing. It shows that you line an o up with an arrow for the cam, but then it says something about lining a T up. I assume this is for the crank, correct? And where would I see this at?

Unscrew the little inspection cap on the left crankcase cover.

Okay, thanks

**litebulblsc** · 08-26-2009, 04:38 PM

Sweet. Should be here by the weekend then, I think.

**shortline10** · 08-26-2009, 04:41 PM

Thanks,

tehre's manuals in my sig as well.
that's cool then. I just didn't want you to think that you were going to gain performance when there are no changes.

So I saw the 200s only has 7.8:1 compression ratio.
It would be nice to get somewhere in the 8.5 to 9:1 area.

Or what would happen if I put a Stock 200x piston in it for 9.6:1 C.R.?

You can still run 87 octane in a 200x, right?

The pistons would be a direct swap too.

Running a stock compression 200x piston is a good upgrade and you should feel the difference and as far as gas goes you should be running high test 93 anyway as it makes the motor run a bit cooler and cooler is better on an air cooled motor . your only talking about 25 cents a gal any way .

**litebulblsc** · 08-27-2009, 05:39 PM

I never knew 93 octane was required or would make it run cooler. I will keep that in mind next time I got to get gas for it.

So, anyone have a good, used, cheap, 200x piston?

**shortline10** · 08-27-2009, 05:43 PM

93 octane is not required but I recommend it . What is your bore at 65mm stock . I have a few stock 200x pistons .

**litebulblsc** · 08-27-2009, 05:48 PM

I haven't pulled my motor apart as it is still ridable, but I doubt it has ever been bored. How much would you want for a piston. Moneys kinda tight and I am not sure if I want it yet or not. I just know that I am going to buy new gaskets and put the head on, and then decide to get a new piston
