First time I've ever torn into an engine this deep by myself.
Just wondering what the consensus is on these pistons.

WhyNot said:I just want to replace them with a regular stock set. I read a post not too too long ago where to buy a set w/o having to cut the kids arm off for them.
Just can't find it.
Hurco550 said:You may want to take a good look at the bore. If the pistons looked like that, there is a chance that the cylinders need bored out anyhow, in which case youd need oversize pistons. Not a terribly spendy proposition. MototechUSA in Mansfield Ohio still bores (and does a fantastic job) for $35 per cylinder. so youd be looking at $70 + s&h for a fresh bore + whatever for a set of oversized pistons rings. oversize shouldn't cost much more than stock size, and are likely a bit easier to find than stock size pistons. Its that way at times anyhow, but not sure if its the case on 350's or not.
irk miller said:Bore-tech sells overbore piston kits (rings, piston, pin, clips) for $130. That plus the bore through Mototech is only $200. That's a great price for the results. I love Mototech. I don't use anyone else.
Hurco550 said:MototechUSA is a shop in Mansfield ohio. One man operation, but he has been doing powersport engine machine work for years, and his prices are still outta the 80's. His name is Chris and his phone # is 1 419 512 3588. Leave a message if he doesn't answer. He is still old school and doesn't have a website.
