[QUOTE="canyncarvr, post: 606320, member: 16552"] You can hone plated cylinders. EG has quite a write-up on that process on his site. Granted, your gauge may be off. In any case, 102psi is low. Wouldn't you generally assume the last thing done to be suspect? As opposed to looking for new stuff? How was the piston determined to be 'ok'? If put-together ring gap measurement was .012" and it changed to .018", that's a lot of ring wear in not much time! How do you account for that? I only briefly looked in the past, but did not find a piston distance measurement for timing the kdx. You should be able to determine what the distance in mm from TDC the piston is from firing time. I don't know the method for that procedure on the kdx. It would for sure tell you what the timing was. Using a mark on the case that isn't actually related to where the piston is isn't of use..unless it's a known quantity having used it before (and the engine has NOT been disassembled). At BDC, what part of the crankcase is exposed to pressure applied from the intake port? What am I missing? The crankcase is vented. What sort of pressure is at that vent when the bike is running? Or, if at BDC, what pressure should the tranny hold (pressurized thru said vent)? Does the tranny fluid smell like fuel? [/QUOTE]
