After pulling the head, I noticed that the previous owner must have replaced the piston, but the cylinder is very worn, and rings were broken, base gasket torn, hence my compression problem I assume. (70psi, with throttle wide open) What are my options here? Since I am doing this, I will do both sides at once, but being new I have no clue as to where to begin. I did speak with one of the Guzzi suppliers today who mentioned purchasing cylinders that had been re-chromed. He had a set with pistons. What about Nikasil (sp?)? What about boring and lining? |
drop right on, very little trouble and run cool.
