[jerod187]

k im just in the process of being my jugs back on after HJR ported and bored them with the wiseco pistons and i ahve done a few little stupid things so plz try and answer if i need to fizz them or it willl be aright!

 

 

- banged the skirt edge of the piston on the head suurface of the engine left a little ding in the head surface and a like a little bubble in the skirt!! (will this just wea off because the pistons aluminum? its right at the bottom)

 

-when i was puttig the jugs on oil got on the gasket is that ok or no?

 

- on the 1 wiseco pistons it looks like the piston wring stoppers on the piston have like fell out becasue theres only a little nubby that sits back there, which only stops it a little bit is that normal! i cant look at the other one beause its already on the bike??

 

and a bit of coolant dripped on the crank and in the case so what syhould i do just keep doing oil changes for a bit? it wasnt alot

 

cant think of ne more at the minute but sure i will later lol,

thanks alot in advance

this is really critical that the rings do not spin around on the piston and stay

in place on the ring stopper pins. You ought to be able to look inside the exhaust port

to make sure. look up in there with a flashlight if need be, you will be able to tell

if the rings are in correct position. if they arent, you need to stop and take it back

apart and start over. and dont twist the jugs while you are pulling them off and

installing them.

ya no i ahve the one side in and its fine theyre lined up and everything but i ahvent put the other side in and i just looked at the piston and the pins just dont look like they come out very far.... and the reason i ahve put it in yet is because i did and then i "and dont twist the jugs while you are pulling them off and

installing them" and bent one of the rings so did i maybe knock off the stopping pins??

I hate to sound like an ass but fuckin A, can you proofread your posts just a little bit? It'd be a helluva lot easier to read through it and give you an answer.

You can say that again!

 

To error on the side of caution, I wouldn't run a piston that I was worried about. For me, it just isn't worth the risk when your talking about an engine that spins that fast for the cost of a piston.

 

Second, the water isn't going to hurt anything as long as it wasn't much (as in less then .5 oz.). No water is better! Changing the oil isn't going to do shit. Your in the crankcase not the tranny.

 

Last, slow down. You ever hear the story of the Daddy Bull and the Baby Bull on top of the hill with all the heifers down below?

 

I always say, "If you don't have time to do it right, you damn sure don't have time to do it twice!"

All of the advice here is great--I just want to add that you get "mad props' " for trying--at least you're in there, trying to get it done. Just slow down a bit,take things one step at a time, nice and easy. It is okay if it takes you a couple days to put the jugs back on and sort the carbs.... :biggrin:
