What's on your bench?

At least it was just a broken motor wire!

My kid would be lost without this thing

Ceramic?

Yep.

Ceramic?

Can't run the piston in a stihl cylinder though. Gonna port a Meteor and use that with the Dominant piston since the plating is so tough

How come the Stihl cylinder won't work?

Needs to be nikasil. Stihls coating is proprietary, closer to chrome

 

[MustangMike]

I didn't know that!

I didn't know that!

DDave has done some testing with the rings on his wiseco pistons and they take the plating off. That's all I know

I use the app and check workdwide

Looks like they cost about $5 new. You want me to order you one if they are available?

I should be able to mail it for around $5 or so. I'm going to pick up bearings and seals today, I'll see if I can order one.

Scroll down and check P/N 159.

That dont help. I got to get one for a local. I am guessing 400-500.
Local dealers are about worthless so I dont bother anymore.

I'm getting a bar new unused. Just trying to see how much they go for new list.

 

[Cut4fun]

Never mind on price. I found it.

I'm getting a steal for a local.

Serious question:

Has anyone tried modifying the lower edge of the intake skirt on a piston to “match” the opening of the intake port?



So basically match the radius of the intake port on the bottom of the skirt. As the intake opens instead of it being semi-progressive opening, it will open all at once-ish.



This will leave the rest of the skirt for support, reducing the liklihood of catching the modded skirt on the bottom lip of the intake.


Juice worth the squeeze?

It would likely be just as easy to flatten the port, as it will not catch a ring down there. Often, you don't want it completely flat, or it may hurt throttle response.

Good luck with that meteor jug.

Ask Dave for sure, I was told that they were able to swap those hard rings out for a caber. I’m not sure at what point they changed it up.

Or, if you want you could leave the bottom of the skirt intact and have two holes on either side instead of a full cutout notch. Best of both worlds.

Now I remember him telling me that awhile back.

Never hurts to ask.
