consfuses me...what pipes can I get for my 62T/62T motor for my SJ>????

[SXR-FOREVER]

61x this 62t that...simple question - want a pipe to put on my backup/gf ski that I have a 62t/62t motor for.

What do I look for?

Thanks,
Trevor

What size bolt holes does the cylinder have? I used a 62T big bore cylinder once and used 8 x1.25 heli-coils as inserts to make them 8mm holes. then I used a 650 b-pipe that I gasket matched with a grinder to the 62T exhaust gasket.

you can always drill out the exhaust manifold holes. I actually fit an OEM 61x exhaust on a 62t cylinder (as long as you use the 61x head) and it works great !

Look for a good deal. Either can be made to fit.

Just to summarize what's already posted above;
- 61X cylinder has 8mm threads,
- 62T cylinder has 10mm threads,
- Helicoil a 62T cylinder down to work with a 61X manifold
- Drill out the 61X Manifold to fit on a 62T Cylinder.

*** When you go to buy mainifold gaskets make sure you get the ones with the right sized bolt holes though. Manifold gaskets have a steel meddle layer that likes to snag the bit.

thanks! thats what I needed!


is there a better pipe for the 62t? or will they all work the same regardless of the cylinder?

IMO, Bang for the buck, B-pipe is still the best for the 701 and 760's.

Get a limited pipe and a low pitch prop, it will make suprisingly good power.

Sounds good guys thanks, I'll keep an out of for a bpipe unless a good deal pops up on anything else.

The Coffman Sizzler pipe is a nice pipe too and is usually cheaper. It's bulletproof so it's a good pipe to have on a backup ski...I mean your Gf's ski.

alright I picked up a complete bpipe...never done helicoils before...cheaper to bring it somewhere and get it done or is there a kit out there???
