[QUOTE="mj4trax, post: 1380986, member: 116336"] Ahh. . .. forward motion. ... I've sent a lot of cylinders there. . . but not lately. This may explain your short ring life description though. My TRX has a ring gap tolerance of .010-.020. Every cylinder I got back (by every. . . I mean somewhere in the 8-10 cylinders range) from forward motion started out between .018 and .019 on new rings . .. not long and they were out of spec. My rebuilt motors always made crazy knocking noises back then. I started going to GT thunder and Lukes Racing for my bores and have been starting out with ring gaps around .012. .. motors have been running better and lasting a lot longer since then. I am particularly careful not to cold-seize them though. I am not trying to badmouth forward motion. Since all of the cylinders I got back were very consistently on that high side of the tolerance, there must be a reason or theory behind why. .. I just found that it didn't work particularly well for me. I'm sure the bike motors are a completely different story. I think you are over-generalizing with regards to the quad websites. .. there are people out there who know what they're talking about. .. sometimes hard to find between all the others though.
