That would be about 10x longer than your 82cc :smile:

Did you prep your Taiwanese bore? I don't think you have to prep the KJT Nikasil bore, it is a true bolt on.

What do you mean "prep" the bore?

Clean it up. It may fit well enough to bolt right on but most of the Taiwan kits need the installer to check for burs and clean up any casting material on the flange. Chamfer the ports.

It was a wrist pin clip that came loose that killed the Taiwan bore :sad:

The bore was cleaned up
