monty348 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Hello all, What increments in size are indicated by the letters stamped on Beta piston and cylinders? In particular the 240 TR34 or just Beta in general. Greg Myers Paradise Pa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nh014 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Greg, I'm not sure this is relevant for the earlier Beta's, but here is what the engine service manual for the Beta Evo series lists for the difference in size. In each case they are in increments of 0.01 mm (0.0004"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmonk Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Pistons and cylinders for Japanese MC are also classed at one hundreth of a millimetre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section swept Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Its all about limits and fits. Mass produced components have only a finite tolerance acceptable for mass assembly, so depending on quantities say 100 cylinder barrels bored to the specifications may be plus+ or minus- but still acceptable to be married up to a piston again + or - in specification. Thats the beauty of having a new piston and a rebore, the engineer will match everything closely to the specs, more accurately than at the factory. These limits and fits are the reasons some engines are noisy mechanically and others are quiet when new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
