Thanks,
I will check the lift tonight, any way of getting an idea of duration?
I would also like to get an idea of the compression ratio of the pistons because I am putting some 76cc heads on it need to know about how thick a head gasket I will need or any other mods short of changing the pistons, my goal is between 9.5:1 or 10:1.
A few more questions are what are some of the tall-tell signs that a rotating assembly has been balanced? I have noticed that metal (welds) were used to partially fill some of the thumb size holes in the crank. The end caps of the rods have been ground down some and are smooth.
The top of the piston scratched with little effort using the sharp end of a screwdriver, felt like aluminum to me, how would one tell if these are forged?
Thanks for all the help.
