OTMTRX Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Piston - Just get a CP pump gas. Rod - stock is fine for what you want, get a carillo if you want to upgrade, but you'd be just as well buying a new OEM crank. Cylinder - OEM Have you torn it down to see what's locked up yet? I'd do that first before you start buying stuff.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvet4dog Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Well keep everything oem and get cp 12:5:1 piston from kbmotorsport for 180..... That's where i'll be getting that cp piston unless there's one (new) with lower price tag.

F-Red Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'm confused. :gr_confused: Too much oil in crankcase would increase pressure, resulting in seals to fail. Did you run it low on oil?

nico Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I've been running a CP 12.5 piston for a couple months and couldn't be any happier with it... But my cylinder and crank were in good shape. If I was forced to rebuild, I'd be shooting for 510+ cc's at least. That was my original goal when I had the head built, so it's a bit overkill for my current 450cc cruiser.

450R Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Yeah but the top end is off... You should be able to see if the bearing on the big end of the rod went out... You're lucky it's only gonna cost you a cylinder/piston/crank.... It could have been so much worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
