I think there is something wrong with my weisco piston!

Skirts are just cosmetic. I'd knock the other side off with a brass hammer and rock on lol :quad:

Hope nothing else was harmed!

I would have to make it look even. A die grinder all the way around c

The broken skirt may have resulted from something alse coming apart. Be sure to check rod bearings and wrist pin bearings before you put a new piston in. The oil passage for the rod may have some aluminum built up in it also.

Are you going to the dunes this weekend Steve?

The_Steve_Man · « **Reply #5 on:** October 08, 2014, 07:11:09 PM »

I was. I have another bike to ride if I want to go. Are you going?

As Mike Holmes says "It's all gotta come out"
It locked up. It has BIG chuncks in the bottom end which sucks because I just had that crank rebuilt before putting it in that motor.

Yep, at least Saturday/Sunday. Might head down Friday evening. Got a pretty big group going, couple trucks and jeeps 3-4 R's in there too.

Might be pretty chilly in the evenings!

It is supposed to rain. I have been watching the weather all week. I was planning on it until yesterday and decided I didn't want drive over there and get rained out. Now I dont have a bike to race anyway.

We should be in South camp as well. Got my lights figured out late last night. I probably won't make it down until Saturday though, i'll be on a red/black bike with red beadlock rings (sticks out like a sore thumb). Dang seat cover didn't come in so it has an ugly dull red cover on it.

Look for a loud obnoxious blue and white 350x. I will have a stock atc 250r. If you see anybody on a 3 wheeler just ask for the Steves
