I came up with slightly different numbers...but then again I only added up the major components. I'm considering the Wiseco Piston Kit instead of the Kawasaki piston...

The Wiseco Piston Kit is $91.29 (Piston/Rings/circlips), and their Wrist Pin is $9.99. If you substitute the Wiseco parts, the price drops about $10. It's a nice looking aluminum-forged piston...

 

132 main and 42 pilot...currently 2.25 turns on the screw, check ebay for the parts I only paid $305 including shipping. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=180026367594

 

When you remove the head from the cylinder to intall the 300, do you have to touch the cams/valves at all or does it simply onbolt as a unit then reinstall on the new cylinder?

 

It's a good time to check the valve clearances while you have everything apart. And if they are out, you have to take the cams off anyway so you can adjust them easily enough during this procedure. You do need to take the cams off in order to free the timing chain so that you can get the head off. The cylinder is under the head, of course. During reassembly, you do need to re-time the cams. It's not hard.

 

brian im surprised you didnt mention about keeping the timing chain on the lower timing gear... lol

 

I should have added, "It's not hard" .... if you don't F*ck it up.

Hey, I've done two big bore installs and only dropped the timing chain once. I reckon I'm 1 for 2, I guess those stats aren't so great, huh? But I *do* have my big bore, that's all that counts.

 

Brian did you do a write up with pictures of the install?

 

I did, back in June I think when I did my 300cc kit. I installed my 331cc kit in October and I might have posted a few photos but not a full photo install like the first one since the procedure was the same. Sorry I don't have a link to it, but it should be easy enough to find using the forum search tool.

 

I think that we need to rename EMS. We should now call him "Salty" I've noticed that he is proficient at rubbing salt in wounds!!

 

LOL...... i would expect nothing less from you guys back, if i messed up, but i dont mess up.... lol........ yea right....
