vitos 240 kit

[bagds101]

hey i am looking to buy the ported vitos big bore kit from ebay and i was wondering if theyre any good. or if i can buy a better 240 kit for around the same price.

i'd get the LA Sleeve kit

 

[bagds101]

would that be better for the money? mine has 3 of the head studs with heli coils. i dont trust them too well.

get rid of the heli coils and do time serts. way better.


the LA sleeve setup leaves you a lot more room to grow. and it comes with reeds and an intake boot AND a forged piston. not a cast like the vito's kit. by the time you buy this stuff for the vito's the LA sleeve setup is a good amount cheaper

alright. ill google it. thanks for your help.

alright man. thanks for your help. ill google the la sleeve kit. i would give you rep, but it says i have to spread it around. and how much do time certs run?

 

[bagds101]

and my next question is... how do i install the sleeve?

There are two "LA sleeve 240 kits".

One is a complete replacement cylinder that bolts onto your crankcase with a new piston to match.

The other is a sleeve kit which is bored into your stock cylinder with a new piston to match.

The replacement cylinder has a MUCH better port layout than the stock cylinder (which is that "room to grow" brandoz was speaking of) and it's relatively bolt and go.

The replacement sleeve type uses the stock port layout which still has to be ported after the sleeve is installed. Installation of the sleeve is probably about $150 at a reputable shop and then porting is extra. By the time you have paid for all of the goodies with the stock sleeve, you could have installed the replacement cylinder and been done with it and still had your stock cylinder on the shelf.
