Yay!

Meh....here's my fine contribution to this subsection of the board.
One of the phillips screws in the VForce reedcages let go.
Pisses me off.


Anyone got 83.25mm pistons for me? :woot: :bs2:

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

dang....
sorry dude.

Ive always worried about that... not V-force, but any reeds.

I dont guess loctite and nylon fasteners would hold huh?

[SJBrit]

Makes me want to pull my intake manifold and check all the screw. That sucks....

 

[Phill]

Hey didnt you have a set of spare pistons??:sneaky:


Didnt you just take apart your reeds??


Call me and maybe I can help some......

 

[Matt_E]

Yeah...who did I just give my spare set of 84mm pistons to? :thinking:

 

[Phill]

Im not sure.... but that sure was a nice thing to do:biggthumpup:

 

[Matt_E]

:woot: :shooter3:

 

[SUPERJET-113]

Dont worry Matt, eventually everyone will have to start their own thread here.

Thats wild looking the way the screw head is lodged in the top of the piston...

 

[Mile9c1]

DO they make 83.25?

 

[YAMA CAT]

I feel for you Matt! That is pretty wild looking! What are the odds of that screw to end in the perfect position to be pressed into the piston and the dome? How did the cylinder fair.will it take a hone or will you have to bore?

 

[Matt_E]

I thought I could get away with a bore.
Unfortunately, the sleeve has a chunk missing now.
So, I'm probaly looking at a new topend.

 

[ski4]

arghhhhh
dude that sux sorry

 

[Matt_E]

More pics of the carnage.
See the sleeve. And the screw that caused all the trouble. Well, the open hole for it, anyhow.

Also, notice the thrustwasher on the crank. Is that a problem? It spins freely. Seems the damage is cosmetic.
Opinions?

 

[Phill]

What happened to the piece of sleeve? did you find it?

 

[Matt_E]

Don't know. :frown:
I suspect it went out the top too. I am going to split the cases to find out for sure.

 

[Phill]

You find a top end yet?

 

[Matt_E]

Yep...just paid for it. I got a bunch of porting ahead of me.

 

[Phill]

Hey...now you can try out that new sport port..

 

[Matt_E]

I gotta do it without a bore this time. Yikes.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

I gotta do it without a bore this time. Yikes.

what are your plans for the old cylinder Matt?
