Helicoil the cylinder.

I have a mint condition cylinder from a 2003 that has been rebored and honed by Mick Abbey and with a new Mitaka Piston Kit, will post some photos if your interested. Has a full gasket kit with it.

@theportingmaster Yes please do. What was rebored to or is it still 125cc?
Thanks very much

[Oisin]

@Calum Ok if u believe that's the best way to go then I'll definitely look into it.

Thanks a lot Calum

[theportingmaster]

Hi, was bored and honed by Mick Abbey to 137cc but still has rebores left.

[Oisin]

@theportingmaster how much u looking for

[theportingmaster]

Open to offers, cheers Terry

[Oisin]

@theportingmaster would u do €85 for the lot

[Calum]

@Oisin I mean, Mick Abbey charges like £150 for the porting working alone...so that would be like bargain of the century

[Oisin]

@theportingmaster Ok well I could do €125 for it

[Calum]

@Oisin Well, you ought to see what he comes back with first

[theportingmaster]

@Oisin cost me more than £125 so looking for £175 & postage.

[Oisin]

@theportingmaster how much would postage to Ireland be

[theportingmaster]

Hi, if you send me your postcode can get you a price for tracked delivery, think the price is about the same as posting in the uk. cheers Terry

@Calum id take it for that price any day lol

[Oisin]

@theportingmaster I might be able to get my cylinder welded. Can I get back to u

[Oisin]

Just said I'd let u all know I got it fixed.
I used some jb weld and retapped it back our to m8 and seems to be holding now.
Thank you all for your help Oisin.

@Oisin wouldn’t have thought that would hold doubt it will hold forever thoigh

[Calum]

JB Weld is pretty good stuff. If it's marine grade, I don't any particular reason as to why it wouldn't hold up.

@theportingmaster I’d be interested in using that for my project. Would work out so conveniently for me too as I’m still trying to decide what to temporarily for the engine. I’m just deciding between using the 3mb00p that looks like it could’ve had its head skimmed, a 4FU (I pretty much already have a 4FU top end), keeping it stock or selling the 3mb00p setup to find something else. Either way they all need a piston, hence why I said that could be a really good shout for me
