Okay. I just wanted to be sure that I was already convinced on the aluminum washers. And I am. So that's the way im going. Now on to my piston... My local shop (G and R motor ports Walton Ky) is gonna do my bore and hone after I decide on my Piston. I haven't got a set of inside mics yet, but with the dial calipers at the top of the bore, it measures 68.45mm, in both directions, then measuring at the bottom it measures 68.5mm. This is after I ran a few passes cylinder hone through to clean it up.
There is no visible scarring on the cylinder, but the piston was toast. All scarred up at intake and exhaust ports. There were no thrust washers in place.
I used to like the black oxide vertex race pistons. They lasted forever in my YZ125. I guess that's why I was hung up on the YZ piston thing for a minute. I've never been a fan of weisco. Seems like every broken blaster piston I've seen was a wiesco. Anybody know of a similar coated piston for the LT250R? If not, which should I get?
Motorgeek, so does your company produce the aluminum thrust washers? If so, could I get a list of your related products/services, and prices please? My email is public on here, if u want you can send it to me. I can foreward the info to my local shop if u want. One of the owners loves old Suzuki 2-stroke stuff.
