good information - thanks! i think for around 30 bucks it would be worth transferring over to studs...... i just hate the feeling every time I go to re-torque my head or take it off (for whatever reason) I just hope the threads dont break!!

I've read some people doing it, but really have seen any feedback. I know when you have worn threads - you can use heli-coils and timeserts. I've used both and had luck with timeserts (or keyserts). Heli-coil had trouble with alot of torque (maybe not installed perfectly - but good with low...

jet call them... ask them for the jetski cable. I called them 6 months ago to order - they asked me what model. I just said its for a jetski trim system. I think i got 11 feet. the lady knew actually what I was talking about.

yea the rings are shot! had low compression in one cycl. and threw some oil in there and compression shot up! one of the rings is in bad shape.

i have a set of oem 82mm pistons that needs new rings with a hone on cylinder. I can't feel any scratches around these pistons. Just want to get some advice/options before i make my final decision. What the max clearance on OEM pistons? Keep or bore up? thanks!

well... this has been a great learning project (way too expensive BTW).... but this was the first modified engine i rebuilt. I could of caused the piston to seize during tuning the carbs. As i hate to spend more money, i just want to ride and ride with a motor that is right. I will send the...

please note this quote does not contain to my issue. This is another members comment on there pasted problem. I have a new crank, with ported cycl. from a rep. shop. Can the pistons in the pictures above be saved in any way?

what would cause them to be cashed? they barely have a total of an hour of use? can you maybe sanded them down a little bit?

here is a picture of the wiseco pistons.... would any scratches (nothing deep, took my finger nail across and couldn't feel anything) cause any problems if I went with the siseco pistons? thanks! i would buy rings for either OEM or wiseco pistons with a hone. Trying to figure out which...

i also have a nice pair of 82mm wiseco pistons with rings... with about an hour of ride time on them. The wiseco pistons require a bigger clearance. Would it be better to replace the cast OEM 82mm pistons with the wiseco 82mm or just buy new rings for the OEM with a hone? Or better to take...

even if the cycl. still have the cross pattern inside.... still get the cycl honed? thanks for the information!

everything looked good. I did poor some oil in the cycl and compression shot up! I am guessing this mean new rings? Would you replace both piston rings or just the cycl. lacking compression?

I can not figure out my low compression issue. I have a ported cycl. and running a ADA head with 33cc domes. My front cycl. is getting 190 psi and my rear 140 psi. The cycl. sleeves are in good shape. nothing there that would concern me. I switch my domes around thinking it was a bad...

when i re-did mine this past winter.... did the same thing as you. just have to pull it up slow and be patient. The stuff that was left down, i took a razor and just worked it out. Remember to prep the surface well before putting the new one on. Scuff up the inside of the lip a little bit...

thanks for the information guys!

can you switch the rings on different pistons? like wisco switch with oem?

I have a cycl. that was bored out to 82mm using Pro-x pistons. Could I switch to a 82mm wisco pistons? Would the clearance be totally different or pretty close? Whats the best way to measure clearance? Thanks for any help!

awesome! thanks for the reply

If you take rings off a piston after use (few hours), do they need to replaced with new. Or can you put them back on? Didn't know, if you take them of, they would stretch a little and would not seat back correctly. thanks!
