    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I bought a cylinder a while back. I was so excited when I got it that I pulled out the pistons and now I don't know the order I pulled them out in. Nobody needs to tell me how dumb that was. Live and learn I guess. Can anyone tell me if I have them in the right order from the picture? I don't know if there is a standard 1-2-3-4 order that people mark, or if it could go in order from either front or back. That probably doesn't make sense. Any help for my mistake is greatly appreciated.

The numbers are right (left to right) but 2 of the pistons look the wrong way round (back to front) - make sure your valve cutaways in the crown fit with your valves.
 
As your cylinders are now, the correct piston order is as you have them. Just make sure that you rotate #2&3 pistons 180 degs so that the valve pockets are orientated correctly.
 
There's an arrow on the top of each piston that should point to the front of the bike.

#2 and #3 are pointed the wrong way.
