any machine shop should be able to bore it over, and doing the rest of the build isnt that hard. taking your time, u should be able to do it in less than a day. ---

HOT TO GO on Grand Island is a pimp ass 2 stoke machine shop and engine builder [http://www.htgracing.com/index.php](http://www.htgracing.com/index.php) These guys are awesome and the prices are great about Wiesco 2 stroke pistons - they are forged race pistons and they must be heated up everytime you use the engine or else they seize. They are great strong pistons for racing however they are not the best for daily/rec machines. I would suggest OEM oversized ---

yea, this is definatly not for racing. so i guess i’ll check about an oversized oem piston. what about getting a higher compression piston? would that be bad for just something that isnt raced too? ---

> [@JnJSpdShop](#): > > about Wiesco 2 stroke pistons - they are forged race pistons and they must be heated up everytime you use the engine or else they seize. They are great strong pistons for racing however they are not the best for daily/rec machines. I would suggest OEM oversized I run a forged over sized 12:1 wiesco in my 4-stroke quad and don’t have any problems with it. I also installed one in my bro’s 2-stroke polaris. I have never herd of this problem. Both machines are not raced, but who doesnt warm up a quad before riding. This is news to me. Back on topic, Motioncraft in EA does pretty good work. I think he charges like $40 to bore/hone a cylinder. He will match the cylinder to the piston and check the gap on the rings. For a 2-stroke you just pull the jug off, get machined work done, put piston back on rod, slide cylinder back down and tighten up. Super easy, no valves, no timing chain. My bro has a Polaris Magnum 350 4x4, I just rebuilt that a few months ago. Only had 5 hours total of work on it from taken it apart to reassembly. It took longer to wait for parts to come in and get the cylinder machined. ---
