• Looking for a good lightly used zilla cylinder with no or very minimal porting something with a max 87mm bore. Its a needle in the haystack I know but don't want to spend 800 on a new one. If someone knows where to get a new one cheap send me a pm. Started my rebuild project and pulled apart my 88 zilla and found out that it had been ported and it had a 88.5mm bore

• How terrible is the porting? Also you can Nikisil your cylinder and get some more life out of it. Then eventually re-sleeve if the porting isn't terrible.

• My whole point new zilla cylinders don't grow anywhere anymore. If the porting hasn't already trashed the cylinder. Can it be saved?

• I have some 88 cylinders that are close to stock bore with little or no port work. Pm me and we can figure out a price.

• Sending the cylinder to Jerry Hall to see if it can be saved. I'm not sure I want to dump a bunch of money into a cylinder that is almost wore out.

• Well I'm not saying I have a ton of stuff lol but I have a few things. To be honest I sold a lot of them here recently so my stash is getting smaller when it comes to small reed stuff. But I have some. What do you have tony?

• i guess cause it distorts the cylinder so much that they need to bore it out 1 or 2 sizes after.

• I have a nice low hour 87.... Stock bore, stock port.... But it will prob need a bore to the next size... Has a scratch in the cylinder... Very clean, nice original paint, no cracks... Looking to trade for similar small reed possibly....
