got a new piston and sandpaper and a piece of glass.

I was going to say use the old piston and sand .003" or so out and then no gasket. I've run them at .017"

 

[jughead500]

ok may try that with the meteor.always polished pistons in my bikes to help with carbon build up.
the old piston in this one was pretty chewed up on the intake side.only thing i could find wrong was the bottom of the intake port not being beveled.

Tin can gasket should do it then.
