The other thing I've found out about air cooled R's is that you might as well figure on resleeving your cylinder. IF you can find another one, it's almost garunteed it will be, or need to be bored to the max already.
Don't drag your feet and miss TrikeFest. Send your cylinder right to Wiseco, in Ohio. They will put a new sleeve in it for around $125. Then they will fit the piston kit correctly to the sleeve. When you get it back you'll know it's tip-top. Looking at around $350 for everything.
i do have another parts engine. I have the jug, head, and most of the bottom end. the other jug i have had rust in it (someone left the sparkplug out and it was outside) so it will need a bore also. I tried to hone it but it's too bad.
