Just got a 87mm stock cylinder I got from CL. Opened it up to find 1 of the small sleeve tabs on bottom was broken. I have called him and left a message. Doubt there was insurance. But my question is, can you still use it? I know the piston doesn't travel that far down. Thanks

Who is CL? Wow I would be upset, was this a packing error?

Craigs list. And it's not usable

Craigslist

Why is it not usable? Never had this problem.

Install it and let us know how it runs.

Tell me and save me the trouble. It was going to be a core for a ported cylinder for a builder

I have seen motors run with a broken sleeve, but it will cause premature piston wear & I doubt a builder would take it in as a useable core.

Guess I will have a complete top end for sale looks like.

It can be salvaged. All it needs is to be re-sleeved. The builder should be able to take care of that for you for a little extra coin.

I am in no way making fun if your name is really petenorth but we are sharing a laugh either way!

It's not Petenorth really, lol. Anyone interested its on EBay now, no reserve.

Petenorth · « **Reply #13 on:** November 13, 2012, 05:48:22 pm »

Or would trade some on a 88-90 stock head and carb.

Right next door. Never see any zillas close anymore. Pm me if you ride and we will meet up.

Deebo · « **Reply #16 on:** November 13, 2012, 06:16:40 pm »

Just across the mountain... there is another one a couple counties over. I ride once a week at least, usually more weather permitting this time of year. PM sent

Twinzilla · « **Reply #17 on:** November 13, 2012, 08:49:53 pm »

Petenorth · « **Reply #18 on:** November 14, 2012, 07:28:19 am »
