my V-spec is getting tired is it worth getting it Pinched?

I don 't know if they still sell them or if you can find them any longer, but I used to have the Sizemaster sleeve pincher. It worked great and I used to pinch sleeves for the LHS. I bought it for $49 I piinched many sleeves and would get at least another couple gallons from the motor. So I think it is worth it. If you send it off to someone thanI think you could expect a few more gallons. I wish I didn't sell my sleeve pincher.

don't buy the tools to do it yourself, they give you a wonky sleee, so you get pinch but even less compression than before. Find someone to send it to (with feedback) and let them do it for you. The piston sleeve should come back almost like new!

I too agree with getting the motor pinch. It will not last as long as a new piston and sleeve, but well worth the money if your motor is not going out in other places.
How are all the seals ? Leaking air ?
Bearings ?
Is the creank showing wear ?
And how about everything else ?
But I believe you are starting in the wrong direction. Joe is right. Price is not what your looking for. Find someone with alot of positive feedback. There are many good places out there. I have used rayaracing and was very pleased. Do a bit of research first. Why try to save 5 or 10 bucks to bring a $300 motor back to life ?

I'll be having my RB S7 pinched, then keep it as a spare/foul weather engine. The bearings are ok, as is the conrod and crank. Just doesn't make sense throwing away an engine just because its lost its pinch.

I've used rayaracing.com many times with greaaaat results. Good prices too.
I recently used a guy off these forums and he did a very good job as well. Even better price. Here's a link to his thread
