Right ppl need a difinative answer to this one ! im wanting to fit head on barrel before fittin onto conrod as ive no room to get torque wrench onto front head stud when fitted to torque it down as frame gets in the way of wrench, was hoping i could do this by fittin piston into barrel then offer head n barrel as one piece onto conrod then just slip gudgeon pin thru obviously id fit opposit side circlip into piston first any comments advice would be apreciated !! cheers Dave
The shop that did my rebore fitted my piston with rings and I couldnt be arsed messing with rings so I put the top end together and then attached the piston, was slightly more difficult as its obviously added weight but its possible.
Also you would struggle to tighten the bolts enough without damaging the barrel, as you'd have to clamp it or something..
can anyone tell me when u get new piston kit are the rings on the piston ? if not how do u kno which ring goes where ??? bloody will get bike rebuilt this weekend as been off road 3 weeks now n drivin everywhere in cars really knobbin me off , all cos kin shop has let me down as in shut when i went to fetch barrel n piston kit just note on door sayin sorry were shut today( knobs) and had drove 40 miles to fetch it back............

When I collected mine all was seperate but the guy in shop offered to put the rings on the piston for me, could have done it myself like but it was good to see how it was done proper, plus it took him no more than 30 seconds.
Shame you couldn't pick it up, that's proper crap!
