Jake Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 The only reason I didn't buy them before, and the reason I still can't buy them, is that I don't yet know if 86.5mm will be sufficient. I may need to get 87mm pistons to remove the damaged surface from the bore - dunno yet, getting there now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No probs Chief ..Shame you havent got any people who could slip a liner in. 87mm is cool but if it goes again thats max rebore and thin walls. makes my ass clap LOL. But it will be fine ..no one has that much bad luck ....so you having fun doing it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 For the record I didn't actually say they were Torx...(They do look like them though in the pic don't they?) I said "I think they're a special socket."...That's my excuse anyway. Although I probably would've merrily bought a complete Torx set to get home and find they didn't fit.

Chris Wilson Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I still need an answer to the above question if anyone can help? Looking again I think they might undo OK with a regular six sided socket but I'd like somebody in the know to confirm that before I damage something if poss. Thanks They are normal multi hex head bolts. use a normal (ie, not a new fangled flank or whatsit drive) socket on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
