Default 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.

Thumbs up

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.

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!

Default 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

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.
