Alright. Up till now I just wanted to install aftermarket allen wrench valve adjusters. Dropped the tool down the chain canyon and it's been off to the races ever since. Had to pull the head an block to find the hex key. Now I've found #3 piston is scorched from contact with the cylinder wall. Rubbed bad enough to drag displaced aluminum up into the oil ring land. Looks like it's toast.
Where does one find one 74mm Weisco piston? Can they be purchased separetly? I guess first I'll need to see if the cylinder can clean up and still be spec for that piston. Maybe another cylinder block of Ebay?
On the good side. The bottom end seems real tight. Side play on the rods is still in spec. Pretty good for a 40K plus bike.
If it gets too complicated, I might have to go for a 1168 kit. Kiss another $600 goodbye.
Mo money, mo money.
