What bore kit & what head did you have b4?

kawasakicoby125 · 10-29-2009, 06:39 PM

it is just a stock cylinder yx160, with hi comp tb piston, and ported v2 head.

BORN2RIDE#56 · 10-29-2009, 06:42 PM

gotta get the piston thats valve cut outs to match the head. call don @ pax 8189682261

kawasakicoby125 · 10-29-2009, 06:43 PM

its the piston that comes with the v2!

BORN2RIDE#56 · 10-29-2009, 06:44 PM

try puttin 2 head gaskets...

kawasakicoby125 · 10-29-2009, 06:50 PM

ok. it already has an aluminum one...

BORN2RIDE#56 · 10-29-2009, 06:58 PM

call don & see if he can help you. i heard about the 2 head gaskets on here somewhere but give him a call...

do not stack two head gaskets !!!......... wtf.. double up on the base gasket if your piston is above deck. But before anything else check your crank, if the rod stretched or the bearing are going it may cause a similar issue with piston to head clearence

Blackwoodz · 10-29-2009, 07:20 PM

pull the head off and measure the deck height....a stock cylinder with the TB piston should be well in the hole and plenty of valve relief..Mike is very conservative with his parts.....
I milled 2mm off a cylinder and still clear a akunar piston with my V2..
Something is not quite right.

Check your cam timing.

Don

kawasakicoby125 · 10-29-2009, 08:17 PM

already checked, 2ce for each side.

Troop · 10-29-2009, 08:38 PM

Is it possible they sold you the wrong piston? Just throwing some thoughts out there...

No I sent him the piston and was used about two hours on the exact same setup.

kawasakicoby125 · 10-29-2009, 09:13 PM

cam turns good off the cylinder. im just gonna clay it tomorrow

firepower354 · 10-29-2009, 09:56 PM

Not uncommon for that combo to need double base gaskets. YX jug is shorter and can let the piston hit the head. I send an extra when I sell a turned down one for econo-143 kits.

kawasakicoby125 · 10-29-2009, 10:00 PM

i finally got it to go all the way around. idk y id did that time but it did when i was claying it. now it goes by just fine, except now there is a very quite tick that u can barely hear right around the ignition point. what is that sound? is it common? is it something to worry about? the clay came out fine, if it did hit the piston, it would have been oh so slight that t didnt rip though the clay

firepower354 · 10-29-2009, 10:17 PM

Clayed the whole top?

Blackwoodz · 10-29-2009, 10:27 PM

at ignition point valves are already closed..... the noise is something else.
both knock pins inplace?
