Piston Slap?

[Larry's Shee]

If it were me I would have the bore and piston measured before I even honed it. If it's (IMHO) more than half of the tolerance spec, I would just get it bored and be done I:I. You're already worried about slap With fresh bore and new piston you're talking hundreds of hours if maintained properly B)

BTW, it only takes about 60 seconds to hone a cylinder

Whats the next size i should do if i bore it then?

take it to a shop. they will measure it and tell you if it needs bored what size piston you need and everything. we cant guess without seeing it or measuring. it may need bored one size over or it may need 2 sizes over. or it may need nothing. they only way to know for sure is to have an engine shop measure and tell you

I've looked into him, but i just don't have that money laying around. He's pretty cheap. But I'm 15, I don't have a lot of ways to make money. I'm already half way there for a top end kit, I'll just do it myself.

Check with any "good" auto parts store, not chain stores. They either bore or can direct you to a shop that does. This is after you check your local motorcycle/atv shop. Be sure to take your piston with you too' When they measure both they will be able to tell you amount of clearance between the two.

So Auto Zone is a no go?

Don't know what Ken charges to bore, but he's relatively close as far as shipping goes. My little local shop charges $48 a hole, does it in house.

The only ATV Shops near by is K&K ATV. But that's a 2 hour drive.

I know i have a dealership around me in Foxboro, I'll give them a call in the morning to see if they do that kind of work.

Be shure to ask if the shop your going to if they line bore there cylinders. Theres a diff. as to weather or not they are/do.

Line bore cylinders?

Is this a new process for boring more that one cylinder at a time.

I was always under the impression that line boring, was a straight line boring system used for multiple (crankshaft/camshaft) journals or bearings.

Line boring is needed to make sure that a crank or shaft does not flex when revolving, resulting in abnormal wear of the bearings or failure of the shaft.

I cant recall if my dad said people do it for banshee's or blasters or for both. I vaguely remember being a week ago. But I thought it was the same thing only named differently cause they do a certain technique to it or something's different with the cutting tools???
I believe line boring just means the cutting edge is just supported better to obtain an even better cut. That and line boring is done vertically as apposed to horizontally. Here's an article/diffinition.
