Finally took my engine to a buddy today who is good with motors. Few issues. My piston is 7100 , 71 mm but it is wore down too 70.60. Forged piston. Now my cyclinder is tight tolerances to 71mm, too tight, and there is piston stuck to the sleeve wall. Now That needs to be bored I would assume.???? Too what and what to allow for tolerances of an 81 air cooled 250r. Also the porting in the sleeve has a few small dents around the edge of one. This got to be bored for that reason alone right? These portings need to be bored more than the sleeve right?
Next problem the connecting rod. My Buddy is not sure on the amount of play it is allowed to have and thinks the Thrush washers and crank connecting rod bearing needs to be replaced. Picture this as you will the head off connecting rod stuck straight up in the air. I know they can slide side to side a little but should you be able to move it a small bit off of a 90 degree angle from the crank?
Will I have to replace the connecting rod and bearings.
If so how much you think this will cost?
Sorry for all the questions but I am GREEN to these engines and want to get it running. Thanks.
