Bigde2001 Piston/Sleeve resizing & reconditioning
Anybody who has used my services please feel free to give me a shout out. Thanks
Hello, my name is Dion and I recondition and resize piston/sleeves. I also do bearing replacement. Several months back for a trail time I was resizing for free to get some of my work out. I have piched in excess of 900 sleeves, therefore I have mastered it.. I also have a resurface process that I include also. This process will only remove minor scatches on the surface, but will give a new surface on the sleeve and piston for break-in. The equipment that I use is a press system and not a clamp. I use the same equipment that rayaracing uses and have around 2000.00 in my equipment so it is professional system that I can pinch as little as .0001 of an inch. I charge 15.00 for this service. return shipping is 3.00 first class mail and 6.00 priority mail. I pinch same day I recieve sleeve and mail next day. If you want to use my services you can mail me your piston\sleeve\ rod assembly. For more details email me a [email protected]. My resize process: 1- I inspect piston/sleeve 2- do a very slight hone on piston and sleeve. 3- I do a taper resize (It gets tight as piston goes toward TDC) 4-Will work piston up & down in sleeve to creates shinny spots(high spots) 5- I custom shape piston/sleeve to a perfect fit When you send your piston/sleeve/conrod to me you will need to include your return information.. Also include what piston and sleeve you send me and specify how tight of a pinch you want. I will need to have yor address,email,and contact info.

His equipment is state of the art. His knowledge of the mod is uncanny and he can get the most out of your motor. Between his shop..Battlefield R/C..his services and the picking of his brain, he is a LARGE part of my race program. And the best part is...I only live 5 minutes from him!!!
Ive known Dion for about 25 years and he is solid. You can send him your work and have confidence in it being done right...the first time. David Longobardo |
Dion is a 100% top notch guy...utilize his service, you won't regret it
|
I've used Dion's services last year - very nice and knowledgeable, fully trustworthy :nod:

Dions a top notch guy he does all my pinch work when needed and he always does an excellent job.
|

|
Dion does know his stuff.
When is Battlefield racing these days? Is there a race calender? Good luck w the venture. |
He has been running saturday nights he will post it on the GA forum a few days ahead so everone knows.

Dion's work is AWESOME! He's pinched at least 5 or 6 sleeves for me thus far and every one has been perfect. I even got to meet him at PNB this year. Great guy.....awesome work for sure!

Mod Work?
Hello,
Do you do mod work also or just pinch and resize? Thanks |
yes I do mod work. My mods are to make the fuel system more efficent with power coming on a little stronger. I never advertise it though. Email me for prices. Also the modders on this forum would be considered the experts but I will do some mods while I have to pinch if requested. Thanks Dion

Dion is well tooled and experienced
Dion,
Great to see you have put good use to your resizing tooling over the past few years. I like your style :nod::nod: Enough said RayAracing |
Thanks Ray, I love my resizing equipment and I for sure have gotten my moneys worth out of it. The greatest thing about it is Im able to keep my local customers running that can not afford to buy new motors or rebuilds. That is the biggest pay off of all.

|
Sweet thanks Dion. Fast turn around since you only got it today. cant wait to see your work.

I can not gaurantee that it can be salvaged but I have saved alot that people would considered ruined. I hone the piston and sleeve which will help. You send it to me and let me take a look at it.
