got my new piston on the way

[lxndr]

Are your new pistons oversized? Higher compression?

If you've lost compression the culprit is either the cylinders, rings or valves. I would suggest taking the motor apart before buying ANY parts for it. Without tearing the motor apart you don't know what will need to be replaced. If the cylinders are oval, you will need to have the block bored which means you will need to buy oversized pistons, if the rings are bad you will only need to replace the rings and re-hone the cylinders, and if the valves are bad, you can leave the block alone and just rebuild the head.

ya i know thats why i already have the mototr apart... and checked the cylinders and no the are fine the rings were just bad...... lol so i got rings and pistons for the same price i could get rings..... so thats a good deal....

i used the original cables.... clutch fits just fine, but the throttle cable needed a custom mount on the plenum no big deal, just a piece of steel and good ingenuity

the linkage was a hybrid of the original linkage and a 95 delsol i found at the local wrecking yard cut off the ends and had em welded on

as for the axels i had those custom made at a local speed shop

and i used the disks and pads off of a 87 teg bolt on and the are BIGGER better stopping for the higher speeds
the mounts were from hasport.com

cool so did u have to lenthen or shorten it any, or jus swaped out the ends for the del sols.
