Isn't it's warranty shorter, even though it is more expensive?

The KK kit comes with Cometic Gaskets & a Wossner piston. (not JE piston as on website).

How much without cylinder exhange?
How long after purchase does the cylinder have to returned?

First thanks to everyone for their replies. My question seems to have opened up the discussion with a lot of good information being passed on.
To answer the question why not get the 351cc kit, I have several reasons. I don’t want to have to worry about clutch plates or my stock carburetor that may or may not work. The 300 and 331 kits are dry sleeves while the 340 and 351 are wet sleeves. There really isn't going to be a huge difference in the amount of power but there might be a noticed difference in cooling during our hot south Texas summers. I think I’d rather keep it dependable and stick with the 331.

I use a JE piston with 11:5 or 12:1( which ever one the customer wants) and the gaskets are by Cometic.

Without the cylinder exchange the kit is $175 more. If you do have a cylinder to send back to me, I would need it within 2 weeks.

Not quite ready to pull the trigger, but after this thread you may want to put a few more of those puppies on the shelf. I'll be ordering mine in a couple of months - for sure. I like the price and the fact (s) it dry and Nikasil.

Will be sending you some emails over the next few weeks on payment.

Technically if you have problem you can put back your original piston/cylinder before going to the dealer.
