I went to install my crankshaft and bearings into the side cover today, and it's not a press fit anymore. It's not sloppy per se, but not press fit. I was reading on some of the karting pages about using Loctite 609 and drilling a hole for a set screw on the bearing. Is this a reliable fix...

I have a chain question for you guys. My S797 came with a 36"(40" total length) guide bar, but no chain. It has a 7 pin .404 rim sprocket on it. Do I need a 108DL chain for this application? I see west coast saw sells some Oregon .404 chain (68JX). Do you guys have any recommendations for...

Quick update. Christmas came early. I received my block and new piston from Terry today. Mark has a package in the mail for me. The 090 carb should be here shortly. I need to order one more seal for the Flywheel side of the crank, a little confusion between Terry and I. I have a question...

I've finished cleaning all of my parts and ordered all the gaskets that will be needed. I ordered the 090 carb as well. Sawzilla has the 090 carbs for 25% off right now by the way. I need to address the starter assembly. The hole for the forward guide bar nut is pretty worn out. Do you guys...

I've sent a box of parts to Terry Ives. He is going to bore and hone the cylinder and fit a new piston assembly. He is going to open the boost port as well. I've been reading about Carburetor replacements this week. I've seen the Mac 48890B and HL324 (090) being used. Is one better than the...

Thanks. So you only use 1 seal per side then?

I'm looking to order some new crankshaft seals for the S797. Can someone confirm that the SKF 6620, 6640, and 6119 seals are what I need? Jeff

Was this the CP block where you epoxied the intake and transfers, ported the intake manifold with the 5 degree flywheel?

Thank you Jacob. My wrist pin is 1/2" with the bearings in the piston. I was just reading some of your posts comparing the different pistons and rods. Am I right in thinking my Super 797 shares a lot of parts with the 101A? (Connecting rod, small end bearings, wristpin, crankshaft) I...

Bigmac - thanks for the info, I talked to Terry today about having some machine work done. Mark - Thanks for looking, those two could be an option depending on how the cylinder turns out. Are those window pistons by chance? Lee H. - Thanks for the welcome. I believe the cylinder is in need...

Here is some pictures of the P/C. After a weekend of looking the IPL's of the early 797, S797, CP125, and 101 kart engines, I want to verify that I'm reading them correctly. It appears the simplest solution would be to find the proper oversize piston and put it back to stock. My question is...

Hello everyone. I acquired a Super 797 this week, and discovered that it will need a new piston and some machine work. I've been reading all weekend, and this thread appears to be the best place to ask questions, although not frequented often. I have a small collection of McCullochs, but this...
