How long did your blaster run on that bore and that piston ridding in the dunes? Cuz u have been a member and riding in the dunes since I joined BF. thats been a year and a half or so I would say. Maybe longer and that's just that I have know of.
The only reason it blew up is a airleak u weren't on top of! That doesn't seem like ur doing to bad with riding out there.
Air cooled motors can Handel the dunes with proper jetting and a well maintained motor. People have been doing it for years.
Not saying its the best quad out there for the dunes but it's ridable in the dunes for sure!
At any rate tho. Cheaping out on the cylinder is only gonna come back to but u in the a$$ in the end..
Get the guy with the 20$ cylinder to meet somewhere ur "allowed" to drive. throw him 5-10 extra for gas it's still a good deal.
Spend 35 on that cylinder ( 20 for it 15 for gas)
Pay shipping ( say about 50bucks both ways for just the cylinder.)
Get free porting
Get the bore measured
Buy a piston kit for that bore that will be measured with the correct tools and some experience. ( I see a weisco right now for 80 bucks shipped on eBay)
Total everything up you got 165 in a cylinder that's ported and fresh and is done right
Your basically trying to cut corners to save what 80 bucks. Is 80 bucks gonna be worth all the money and hassle to do it over again. I don't understand. I could see If ur cylinder was in spec AND good condition then maybe.
How many times have u seen guys on here try and cut corners and in a month there on here crying because they didn't take the advice and do it right.
EVEN IF money is super tight buying the stock cylinder for 20 bucks and putting a piston in that is better then reusing that cylinder.
That's my option anyways. It is your bike and your decision at the end of the day.
