shipdamite Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 They don't plate it .I certainly don't think putting nikasil over iron would improve thermal transfer and didn't say it would . Also it's only as much hassle getting a re-sleeve as getting re plated . Making sure you don't get someone to cock it up for you is the biggest problem . Rants accepted ,facts stated . yep; the getting it cocked up bit is the biggest concern! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 http://www.pjme.co.u...ob_Packing.html here? did they ask for your new piston to be sent as well (so they could measure it before doing job) and did they do everything that was required to just fit to the bike? cheers Yes, they can't bore it without the new piston... The cylinder is blasted clean and returned ready to fit to the bike although I rinse them out anyway. All the ports are dressed properly. They have a backlog of work, so they must be doing it right and they've been around for quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Hi Ted - cheers. the ty is not bad; p.o/s have done the kickstart mod. gear shift mod. swing arm bushes. mammy siller footpegs. fork tubes. betor shocks. and I have done a heap more ............. played around on it in the yard tonight and with youtube comparables in my head, it didnt sound too much like a digger ;-] reckon it will be a labour of love getting it spot on. the yellow one is lovely ............. but....... if I had a bike that pristine, i'd be worried about using it properly......... I like the idea of a TY that is mechanically spot on, but a bit dinged about. be good to see the fantic ............ oh, off topic, but your matey would be good on a 250 pro............

ausy300pro Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 HI http://www.sep-kegwo...co.uk/page2.htm here? did they ask for your new piston to be sent as well (so they could measure it before doing job) and did they do everything that was required to just fit to the bike? cheers HI Yes they did and it was blasted which they did not say was going to be done when they quoted me for the job, ports dressed with a really nice chamfer on port edges, was ready either for painting or slotting straight on, it looks quite good anyway as it came up with a nice silver grey finish after the bead blasting.
