ahhh Wossner!...
be sure to check your piston to cylinder clearances and ring-end gap before you start putting back together....just to be sure all's good.

i got the piston through Powerseal. they fit it for me. one problem. i went to put it all together yesterday and the welding they did interfered with my kips drum going all the way in. i was worried about the warranty if i went in there and deburred it. got the ok to get it from powerseal so i will be hopefully be riding it tonight! :-D

Kevin at PowerSeal has been great to me....he's takin a cylinder back and re-did it 3 times over 2 weeks until I was happy a couple years ago...all at his cost, including shipping costs!
I have nothing but good things to say about PowerSeal.

They will have all of my business from here on out. Very professional. I wasn't to pleased with the turn around time but i knew the duration going into it. They even sent me a t shirt on Friday on their own in a separate package. At their expense. Great work and good people to deal with.
 Now if only the rain would go away. too muddy to do any riding here in Maryland.

The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

i also figured out the high reving situation. the throttle cable was all twisted up because is was lazy and didn't put it together correctly when i had my triples off to change the stem bearings which made the slide go up in the carb. i fixed that and its good to go now. Boy what a difference in compression. didn't even fell like the same bike. thanks for all the help and advice guys!!!!
