Killed my top end?

[200xcellent]

That last line is killing me, i'm sure you are more than welcome for an ass ripping.

[CODE]Not a chance they could do that in the cylinder, I got a piston and rings in front of me here and you would have to have the cylinder 5mm too big to have that happen.[/CODE]

I know it sounds bizarre but it was and I was thinking the same thing.
The bore was way to big for piston. Put it this way. The rings do not even compress against piston like it should.
Took to Honda dealer and he said he has seen it happen before also from people just slapping top ends together and not having pistons fitted to cylinder.

To be honest, I would not want to see you guys cry. I pity you foo's.
Also I do not race anyone from east coast or mid west. They are too arrogant.

Ok heres the verdict.
Piston was 66 and bore was oversize. Dude I bought it from must have mis judged piston size big time.
When I pulled cylinder off, the rings jumped out of grooves and crossed each other.
Half the top ring was in bottom groove and vice versa. That is where I got clanking noise.
I saved myself a costly repair on bottom end because rings and piston were still in tact although piston has 4 cracks in it from the slap.
So I took it down to Starting Line Products machine shop and having the works done to it and having the piston fitted to bore.
Got my power reeds in and after bore and port, it will be ready to rip in about a week.
Too bad I am not going to trike fest. I would have to spank all of you and take all the prizes home.

You can try, although people at TF have found the gears beyond first


I find it funny you called the westerners arrogant making a statement like this.

I know about shifting thank you. The trike was not put together correctly to begin with and now I must fix someones mistake.

The arrogant statement was a joke to see what replies I would get!
Ya know, trash talkin'!
