Just wanna ask were the cir clips locked in place or had they moved, allowing wrist pin to move? Was just wondering I've heard of them coming lose before and possibly be the reason for scaring the cylinder up.
 
the circlips that are included with part unlimited pistons suck. They are easy to put in because of the fingers, but that also is their downfall. Somehow those little fingers got themselves caught in a port and killed my nice new cylinder in my snowmobile (suckers were seated and nothing was bent). Lets just say its the last time i will ever use a PU piston assembly (going Wiseco in my sled ASAP) /rant

ya the clips were locked in place, so that wasn't the problem, but im not to upset, its a 2 stroke this happens, one little thing and they blow up.
 
that sucks man, but good luck with the big bore. should be sick. you should stroke it too....that would certainly be a beast.

edit i just read you already have it stroked lol nvm

No sh*t.

But your crank rotates, and whats connected to your crank? A rod and piston, so the lighter the piston the less weight your spining in the end..... hence your piston effects the rotating mass of the crank.

^^^ that right......thats why its part of the "rotating assembly" someone has obviously never studied engines.

but reguardless of whether its threadjacking or not you have no reason to be putting down flotek, even if he used the wrong terminology, which he didn't thats just a cheap shot
