Re: [T3] 1500 rebuild


I found my 1500 P&C's the first time I looked. Of course I just happened to
mention to a friend that I was looking for a set of domed 1500 pistons, and
he said he knew where one was. Two days later I had a complete set of NOS
K?lbenschmidt cylinders, wrist pins and domed pistons. All that were missing
were the rings. I later picked up three sets of NOS rings. Now that my plans
have changed, these are all now available. They are the domed pistons so
they are correct for the 1500S engines.

Ok- subject...

So i am in the process of picking up a 63 notch with a 1500 single side
draft carb.

I am contemplating tearing into the motor as soon as i get it home, here are
my questions..

Anyone know where i can find replacement P/C 's? these are 83mm correct? the
1600 is a 85 right ?
I called down to Bill and Steve's , and they had no idea what i was talking
about , they said that all T3 motors used the 85mm (1600)P/C...come on now
tell me this isn't true.

What are my options with this motor? if i do make a 1600/ 1641 out of it can
the single side draft work still? Or is it limited?
Does the case require machine work to get the larger P/C installed?

Or can i hone the cylinders and use a over sized ring set?

discuss among yourselves.
