I have a problem and I need some help. I just got done rebuilding the entire motor but now brand new wiseco piston has 8 thousandths clearance to the cylinder. From what I?m being told I should only have 4 max. The piston slap was sooo loud. The cylinder looks perfectly fine, which really doesn?t make any sense. So here are my options I?ve come up with so far, and if you have any other ideas please share. These prices are what a local shop quoted me.
1. $480+- Have the cylinder honed then re-nikasiled to accept the next size up piston.
2. $320+- Have the cylinder honed and just have a standard sleeve dropped in. (not really sure on this, I kind of want to stick with the nikasil plating.
3. $441 Order a new cylinder from Midwest Action Cycle.
4. $??? Send it to steward and have him work it over??
5.
You tell me?
Thanks
