Alright at this point, I'm accumulating the cash for the piston/rod assembly (bottom end kit), and a top end kit.
The cylinder condition I have pictured in the thread above (area where cylinder sleeve meets cylinder has me concerned.
I know about cars, used to be a tech, so have an understanding of how power modifications can apply to this context. I'm a nube with the two strokes though.
So porting and polishing on a car, they go through and clean up the rougher surfaces in the intake so they are all smooth, and as a result you get more volume of air flow goin through, more breathable, more efficient, more power.
The porting you guys refer to with the two stroke, I wonder if it is a similar concept.
Can I buy a cylinder that is already ported and a bigger cut to accommodate an oversized piston?
Or do I buy the cylinder, get the oversized piston, then get the cylinder ported and machined to that piston?
I'm willing to take the time and money now to beef up the motor a bit, and the ported cylinder, oversized piston, and a different pipe with proper jetting and reed setup is how can do that from what I understand.
Anyone help me out on those couple questions? Or direct me to a resource that can help me out....
Thanks - my quest to get that blaster running again and screamin even better is proceeding slowly - but I want the end of the quest to have a sick ass quad to ride....
