[QUOTE="IndyMX, post: 1398596, member: 71057"] Lube the seal.. I always lube my seals, all of them by the way, with Pro Circuit Seal Grease.. it's a light weight red grease. The hole and screw method should work, just be careful and don't rush the job. As for the piston, just before you put the ring on, place it on the rod with the wrist pin, but don't put on the clip just yet. Then lower the cylinder onto the piston, make sure the piston is all the way at the top of the stroke and you can see it thru the exhaust port. Then make a mark on each side of the exhaust bridge with a sharpy.. Then take the piston back out, and drill your holes.. The sharpy marks will show you where the bridge lines up on the piston. Drill a couple 1/8th inch holes between those marks, one above the other about 1/2 an inch apart right about the level of the wrist pin. This allows some of the lube from your premix to reach the bridge to keep it cool, and prevent it from wearing out the piston.. Should you do it, yes, absolutely. I didn't on the last top end on my 125 and now wish I had.. [/QUOTE]
