what was the conlusion of the holes in front of the pistons,i had a weird thought of if you taper the hole then pin it with a taper pin then very gently swage it in there ?

I just drilled 4 extra holes [copying standard pistons] on my new piller drill

so the holes in front are still there ? ive been hunting around for different pistons and they have em ,but in my mind they`l lose crankcase compression (shall we start another thread on this)

Might as well continue it here Fred (least I know where it is)

I was going to fill the front holes. but Bernie was,nt sure that the alloy weld I use would,nt work loose, I also don't think the two small holes on the wiseco pistons would loose much power [am open to opinions]

Hi Fred,
All the 300s have them as they use Wiseco pistons.
What pistons are you using?
Cheers
Bernie

i dont know to be truthfull ,what are the holes for ,think there the open pin type ,not the ones that wedge in sometimes

Lubrication I think Fred, the pistons are for an RGV250.

all done bernie

carbs completely stripped then ultrasonicly cleaned/ new pilot jets/new main jets/new n99 needles/new gaskets for tops/new gaskets on float bowls and new bolts. [just waiting for the no 4 slide, then I can connect the cables and you can collect when you are in my area.

I think your engine should sit in autosols reception Bernie

You need new pink hose for the carb breather pipes

Yambits sell it

Many thanks Martin =D>

You have done a fantastic job, I should be in your area next week.

It would still be in boxes all over the garage, if I was doing it

The drinks are on me

Cheers
Bernie
