Swapping bottom ends out on an 03 pred 500. Using an 04 bottom end with my 03 top. Went ahead and took the cylinder/piston to the shop to check and see if its within specs to just throw a hone on and re ring since i didnt need a top end anyways. Heres what i got back.
Out of round .02-.03 But my max tolerance is .05 so im fine there.
Bore is 99.26mm and std bore is 99.2.
Taper is .03-.05 which .05 is max so im barely good to go there.
But heres the kicker. Cylinder to bore specs are .08 and max according to the manual is .065.
Its gonna cost me 400$ or so to have this cylinder repaired + new piston and rings since its a plated cylinder.
Or i can suck up the .015 and hone and just put a set of rings on. They said if i do that its gonna be on the loose side of things and may or may not last. This top end didnt smoke or anything though is what gets me...
Any thoughts? Re-ring and go? Or...
