Replacement Husky Barrel and piston

[Brooklandsbob]

Got a 372 with a scored piston and bore, are any of the non original replacements any good or even a big bore kit? Help!!!

Meteor or hyway are the preferred, but golf or episan are alternatives, Chinese stuff can be hit or miss

Personally I would try to rework the cylinder, I have had some pretty bad examples on my "Whats on my Bench" thread that have cleaned up and are giving good service. I have even had some cylinders that didn't look good but still made high compression.

 

The Meteor pistons are the best and Danikrop on ebay from Greece is a top guy - ordered a piston on Thursday midday and it arrived Tuesday - now that is better than many UK sellers - I have ordered around 30-40 pistons off the guy and always around a week or under:thumbup:

 

The guy called MaxMoto from Latvia is also reliable!

 

The weak point in the Chinese pistons are the piston rings and circlips:thumbdown:

By rework do you mean use a cylinder hone or such like?

Emory cloth, wd40 and elbow grease to remove the transfer, the cylinder is rarely scored so bad it can't be used, I've cleaned a 200t cylinder up today with that method

Personally I use acid to remove heavy transfer - light stuff can be removed with abrasive paper, you then do a light hone with abrasive paper or use a hone but very lightly.

Good advice chaps, I'll checkout how bad the scoring is and see what I can do. What acid do you use Spud?
