- What about studs, power valves
and dowel pins?
For basic cylinder repair, please remove all steel components,
if you can not remove them, max power will take them off and
put them back on your cylinder for an additional charge.
For big bore kits, leave all steel components attached to
the cylinder. Aptec Motorsport staff members will remove the parts,
modify them if necessary, and reassemble the cylinder at no
extra charge.
- Can you sleeve my cylinder?
No, we do not recommend this method of repair. Many of the four stroke big
bore kits Aptec Motorsport products are created by implementing a
larger outside diameter aluminum sleeve. Once the aluminum
sleeve is installed, the bore is then coated with Apticote
2000. Apticote 2000 has many advantages over steel liners.
Wear resistance, lower running temperatures, reduced friction
and better oil retention are just a few of the benefits of
plating over a steel sleeve.
- Does cylinder repair include a
new piston and gasket kit? What about big bore kits?
Cylinder repair does not include a new piston kit and gasket
set, however we carry a line of pistons and gaskets.
The advantage to purchasing a piston with your repaired cylinder
is that your cylinder will be custom fit to the piston that
you purchase.
All Aptec Motorsport big bore kits include a piston kit
and gasket set, and will automatically include the custom
cylinder honing process.
