Hmmm, that's interesting.

Ian, I would also advise to ratchet the belt a little tighter and get
the Gilardona set. I recently put a set on my eldo and they are very,
very nice. It does everything you want in a piston set- compresses AND
exhausts. They are also correctly balanced (at least for my eldo). I
would also advise against putting a 'big bore' kit or such on your bike,
because it will vibrate at higher RPM unless the engine is rebalanced.
I had an oversized set on my bike and swapped it out pronto- now I know.

cheers,
Jason

Dave, thats what I have done on the loopracer.

Ian, I have been in your same situation a couple of times. When I priced
out
what it would cost to buy pistons, rings & re sleeve, I always end up
buying
the kit from MG.
