Yes it is.But the bottom pin would be right in the middle in the front if I turn it around.The top pin is off to the left side.So I guess it can't be turned around. Sorry :msp_confused:

If you do a lot of measuring, maybe you can figure out a different piston to use. Or can you just yank the ring locator pins and reinstall them out of the way, where they are supposed to be?

note: never did anything like that myself, just speculating here.

That piston is fine. The front pin is the side of the exhaust port. I would pitch it and widen the port anyway.

The top ring pin is above the intake port and after I cut the jug and dropped it that would just get better. I do like the domed top on it BTW.

Get a Caber F-cast ring.......port the hell out of and see how long till she blows. :laugh:

Bad news already :msp_ohmy: Going to need a good welder :hmm3grin2orange: This sucker is super thin :hmm3grin2orange:

It's a bad time to tell you now.........but the width of the port is less important than the timing numbers.

I would fill it in with JB-Weld and hope it holds up. It works on transfer port just fine.

All I can do is go for as much flow as I can get.I don't have the know how or tools to do much else.:hmm3grin2orange: I just hack **** up and go for it :hmm3grin2orange: Its all up to you guys to get the most out of one.Like I said I only play around for fun.But you can see what not to do! :hmm3grin2orange: I was thinking about JB on there?I didn't think it could take that much heat? I can get it welded up with some extra in there.But I wouldn't mind finding out if JB could hold up?Could help in the future to know for sure?
