Well i was fired up i finally got my new bearings and had no issues removing the old and putting in the new ones. That all ended when i realized i put the piston in backwards and in the process of trying to get the sleeve out again to fix it i chipped the bottom of the skirt!
I have a new piston and sleeve coming, the engine has a little more than a gallon of fuel through it. Since I had the engine modded I would like to reuse the sleeve with the new piston but I'm not sure if that is a good idea, so i wanted to see what others thought.
If it helps any i attached two photo's the second one shows how far i can push the piston in the sleeve before it gets stuck.
So my two options are use the new piston with my existing modded sleeve or use new piston with new non-modded sleeve.
one last question, looking at the second photo would you say the engine is fully broken in yet?
Thanks for your help.
