<DIV>It's been a couple months since I stripped the engine on my Ambo and I'm
<DIV></DIV>having trouble remembering some things. Is there supposed to be a gasket on
<DIV></DIV>the front main bearing? I didn't get one with my gasket set, and I don't
<DIV></DIV>see one in the parts book, but I would like to confirm that with someone who
<DIV></DIV>knows.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Also, I bought new Gilardoni kits. According to the repair manual, the
<DIV></DIV>pistons should be within '1.5 grammes' of eachother. Mine are 3 grams
<DIV></DIV>different from eachother. Has anyone run into this? Is there a good place
<DIV></DIV>to shave material? I think 3 grams of Aluminum is a 3/8" x 3/8" x 3/8" cube
<DIV></DIV>which seems like a lot of material to remove. Any help?
<DIV></DIV>
