Hi All, due to a small hiccup with a fuel pump I ve had a small, well not so small issue with my engine, would anyone have a set of standard pistons from an early gen 14.
Considering the amount of damage that has occurred I am still amazed as to how well it subsequently ran.
It had a slight tap for a couple of revs on start up and then cleared, the only give away was vapour , and not much coming from the breather once it had got properly hot. The damage can clearly be seen, a number of holes in the pistons showing the top rings on three of the cylinders and damage to the block where the top ring stops at its highest point. I m going to get it repaired and re plated It was difficult to tell whilst riding!
I was thinking about changing the compression and still may consider it but like the way it behaves off boost cruise.
I would be grateful of any assistance.......
Andy
