[blastngo92]

Just thought I might share this...
OK THREE WEEKS AGO I sent my cylinder to get bored out for my new piston .Yesterday I called the guy and he answerd and said that he went on vacation the day after I sent it in and he wont be back untill next Tuseday....
since the piston was delayed I thought I could replace my brake cable because the old one is streched I didnt think it would be that hard BUT it was I have noclue what do can i get any help?

I KNOW RIGHT thats why im pissed at him

 

[sheeblast]

it would have been nice of him to tell you when you brought the jug in.
then maybe you could have took it somewhere else.

I know but theres nothing i can do now. Andy Idea on how to install the rear break cable?

 

[sheeblast]

my name isn't andy, but first you need to take the old one off.

FINALLY got word on the cylinder I sent it to a different guy three days ago and its going to be done TOMORROW or at least it is supposed to be..... I will be one pissed mo fo if its not done though.. really happy this guy did it so fast lol sould have just brought it to him in the first place

You cant take the old brake cable off, yet your skilled enought to put on a wet brake system?

Seems like youll have to take the cable off either way.

are those ports chamfered? they look awful sharp in the pictures. if they aren't chamfered the rings will catch and cause huge problems. and I don't see a crosshatch pattern on the cylinder walls either. these pics were taken after the bore job? maybe it's just bad pics but it looks pretty clear to me. a lot of guys treat a 2 stroke cylinder like a 4 stroke but you can't they are completely different animals

I'm not tryin to be a jerk or anything. I know you were already pissed off by that other dude's coment. i just wanted you to know that if that cylinder had already been bored and you think it is ready to go it might not be. I just want you to get as much life as possible out of your new piston.

im not mad at u lol im not sure if it was bored out when we got it... it could be possible but there were no crosshatchings to start off with and it ran without any problems... well u no what i mean lol

 

[scotj77]

oh that was the origional pic before the bore job. i thought those were the afters. sorry. glad i could help and thanks for the rep

no they are afters.... but i am a little shakey with the cameras idk why the didnt show up tough

 

[sheeblast]

it does look like the cylinder missed the honing stage of the job. i would make sure there is cross hatches in the wall, at it doesn't matter what stroke the engine is, all engines need the cross hatches for proper ring seating.

 

[scotj77]

yeah that's what i was getting at. and if the edges of those ports feel sharp to your finger they will feel sharp to the piston and rings too.
i would give the guy the opportunity to fix his work. if he doesn't honor his work you know to never go there again. next time send it to ken oconnor he has great prices and will fix you right up. it is worth the shipping for the peace of mind
