Piston/sleeve
 
Hi. can someone post before and after pics of a piston/sleeve??

Will the sleeve get cleaned up/polisted??

Dr. Evil 10-25-2010 02:35 PM

Piston/sleeve
 
BTW - forgot to ask, How many times can a set be resize??

Thanks

no quams about running anything ray touches as far as his awesome resizing guys !!

dr. evil - i have yet to wear out a resized set but i think Ray recommends no more than 3 times for resizing but that really is dependant on surface finish of piston/sleeve ;)

He is top notch hands down.... Have had P&S Combo's done and absolutely 0 complaints here... I have about 5 gallons on a picco right now... It still has decent pinch...

It truely depends on the wear factor,surface finish condition,resulted geometrical sleeve-case fit, along with engine model you are refering. I always note on invoice what I see each engine model piston + sleeve set recieved and serviced. With out seeming short here, I have seen some not worthy "one" reconditining-resizing service, with other repeat customers getting 2 and even (not often) as many "three" light resizings the engines life.

odd local guy uses the rayaracing system and he sponsors me and I have had one brand done over 5 times before I sold it to a local who has had it done at least once...the 5 times I had it done didnt "need" it but I always liked to have it snugged up when going to bigger races

getting caught up today
 
anthony, Thanks for the heads up. As noted on invoice , one set slightly tighter than other. Please make refernce to next prefered tightness requested when ordering service again.

Dr. Evil, My experience has been "one" piston+sleeve reconditioning-resizing service, mabee "two", before the sleeve-case fittment is altered to its extream. There are a few guys that like a "Light" tightness that may get a third, but not very likely in the same race season. Monty at Houstons Engine Services has ran many resized engines to date with his mention above about surface finish conditions is key,and every thing to do with a piston+sleeves longevity. Thanks for posting my previous post Martin :nod:

bigjayjay1, I do ALL car,truck,buggy,and truggy engine models....12 thru 46 sizes. Along with many marine,and small block airplane engine models requested specialy by repeat customers.

NitroriousRC - Martin, Your package from Australia should arrive here in the next day or two.

I will be here working thru today and into tomorrow if any questions guys...........call, text, email, or post here on RCTECH
