[QUOTE="firecracker22, post: 737754, member: 20316"] Hahaha on the manual. The KTM manual is NOT informative. The exploded views of the various components are much more helpful than the shop manual. I was told that Wiseco, etc. aftermarket pistons are sandcast, and stock pistons are forged or some other process that is better than cast but not as expensive as forged, hence the quality difference. Is that true? Ok, here are some prices, which are actually better than what I was imagining (these are all from the KTM dealer): -New crank/rod/bearing assembly: $280 (only $30 more than the rod/bearing kit, now isn't that wierd) -Piston/rings/pin: $105 -Main bearings: $35 & $58 -Gasket/seal set: $111 Really, that isn't too bad, considering Wiseco piston kits for the 25 year old Yama-Hog were $130+. Can I really get this stuff significantly cheaper? Part of my willingness to go OEM is a sense of loyalty to my dealer, who owns a very small shop, and puts up with me asking a LOT of questions. I'd LOVE to have Eric do it, and take it out to a 220 like Fe_Princess's, but the shipping alone would be too much, nevermind the labor. This way, I can buy the parts one at a time as money permits, and put it together in steps. Plus I get all the learning experience! :uh: I've put car motors together before, but never a two-stroke. In some ways they're kind of more of a PITA than a good Ford V8 is. Natalie, I will post in depth progress notes. [/QUOTE]
