What is the issue with the intake side that needs fixing?

have any used pistons around?


Ill give you a hint.

EVERY piston in this pictures shows the problem.

EXCEPT 2.
1. Blew up (lost a small end bearing, thank you stewart  :roll: ) within 2.5gal of fuel.
2. Was run in a Sleeved Jug.....

Hint: Hint:  Cr500 exh port.

I like "a" high circular hole with just enough overlap to lube the bridges
if I only had a pair, I could actually ride this thing

So the intake bridges are the issue how will a power jet help. I've installed them on Harley's and as I understand it they just provide more jetting options so you can jet a bike perfect at full throttle and still run well at no throttle.

Power jet has nothing to do with the bridges.   Was thinking easy to check jetting for the owner

Wouldn't it be great to get your top end pre-broken in?  2 flying "M" cylinders, oh the magic :-o :-o
