Freestyle Who to send an Able cylinder/motor to?

[ATS_Aaron]

I've got an old ABLE billet cylinder on Christin's ski. It's a 82mm bore and a 73mm stroke. It runs good, but I'm sure it could be better (or bigger?). So who deals with these antiques? The motor is dated 1994 BTW. Tim Judge? Team Scream? Jet Works?

Thanks,

Aaron

Judge is the only way to go in my eyes

My ABLE munched some pistons and crank almost a year ago and I just shelved it. Been thinking about sending it off to get it redone. LPW has done it the last two times with new ported cases, 9 months to finish it the first time. 6 months the last time. It only lasted 5 months until a piston skirt broke off and punched out the bottom of the cases.

My motor is a 6mm stroke at 81mm. Ran great while it lasted.

I'd send it to Judge or Randy at Watcon. JMO.

That is scary and pretty out of the ordinary. None of the 6 or 7 strokers here (only one Able) has broken piston skirt. I did see that my cases say LPW on them, but not sure if he did the cylinder too.

Paul did the rebuilds but not the original porting or setup. He used ProX pistons and the piston that was still good had cracks all the way around the skirts.

I just sent the the whole setup off to Jetworks to see if it can be rebuilt. Sounds like wisecos are the way to go to prevent this.

May resleave it and go to 85mm.
