Hi to all,
After oil & antifreeze change, I rode bike for 20 mins and it shut down, rear wheel locked. When trying to kickstart it, kickstarter was not hard (low compression). Managed to start it, white smoke was coming from exhaust. When engine is opened, piston and cylinder where damaged. Liner is aftermarket part, machined from iron. The biggest concern is this: when I order new liner, what is position of top of the liner comparing to the top end of the block (cylinder)??? Should it be leveled with the block, or little bit higher, so head can compress it together with the gasket? Btw, head was inspected, tested, it is OK, flattened a bit, valves are OK too. I can not find factory data about this height of cylinder liner comparing to the block.
Also, what should be the clearance between iron liner and alu piston? Some say 0.0035, or 0.0045? or just the same as for alu liner 0.002?
Thanks in advance for any kind of help, advice...
