I have chosen to rebuild the top end of a 1991 KDX 250 without machining the bore. The condition of the bore is good and is within spec. My concern is that after I install the Wiseco piston kit and cometic gaskets some minor dimensional variations could cause the top ring to contact the prexisting ring wear ledge in the cylinder. I considered adding a thin paper gasket to the cylinder base gasket to lift the cylinder a few thousandths but without knowing how the new base gasket will compress and what its final thickness will be compared to the factory gasket these dimensions are difficult to obtain. Any thoughts? Am I worried about something that I should not be?
