86 cylinder

Got an 86 cylinder that I had a cast piston explode in, and when it did, it broke the bottom skirt off the sleeve on the intake side. Have not inspected it real close, but I'm guessing it could be repaired with a simple re-sleeve. You would know that better than I.

Yes, you can, but it still just barely touches at the very top of the stroke when the shock compresses all the way. I've got an 06 250f chassis with an 86 500 stuffed into it, and I put the reed block spacer in it, but like I said, it just touches at the top. I actually had to keep an eye on it ...

Right on guys. Thanks for the info. I've still got a length of tube from when I originally built it, so I was thinking full replacement as well. Hopefully round #2 goes longer than 18 months! :lol:

I just caught the comment about the motor eating it up if it needed work. I must have needed work as it blew up BIG TIME. I think the guy who bored out the cylinder to put the 1.25 over piston in when I got the motor, bored it too big. Cause it appeared to be a piston slap caused explosion of the ...

The head stays are NOT cracked or fatigued in any way. The fit is very tight as the markings you see on the frame are from working the motor into the frame. Grade 5, 7/16 bolt through it all with red loctite. Was tight when I pulled it apart.

I guess the "vibration" was the right way of thinking as ...

Frame cradle cracks above front motor mounts

Hey guys. I'm in need of some suggestions on what may have caused these cracks so that I can fix them correctly and keep them from occurring again. Any insight is greatly appreciated!!!

Don't know why these things flipped on me when I uploaded them, then again, I'm more of a motor guy than a ...

Chandler, AZ Hoon rookie!

Just stopping in to say a formal hello! I've been checking this site for a long time now as it has been a long-time dream of mine to have a 500AF. I'm finally in the process of doing the conversion on an '06 crf250 with an '86 powerplant. Although my lack of hours at work are causing me to pull out ...
