395xp project question

[parrisw]

I'm starting to look at my 395 project, need to collect the parts then I will start the build.

For sure it needs a piston. I have a new 394xp piston will it work in the 395?? I think they are the same bore, any differences.

I'm not 100% on this but I think I remember a small difference in the crown height (distance from top of the wrist pin to the top of the piston) between the 394 and 395 pistons. Hopefully Spike and/or Azlogger can confirm this.

Thanks I was wondering. If you look on ebay, some of the sellers, list pistons being 394 and 395.

Yes they are the same bore, but pistons,cylinders, and crankshafts are different between the 394 & 395. I would not recommend switching these parts between models, keep everything 394 or everything 395
My Professional Opinion!
