      +Oscar Navarrete It sounds like you stripped the threads in the head. It could be re-threaded, but with the cost of a new head, it makes a lot more sense just to replace it. There are heads with 64mm or 69mm valves. For the TaoTao, you should need the 69mm version.

    cutting it freehand might work but in the long run the piston balance is going to be off causing a throw effect in the cylinder over a period of time , hence causing wear on the bore in a sideward manner.. and resulting in a loss of compression. pistons are things to be machined and are perfectly tuned to cause minimal engine wear from this situation.

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  3 роки тому

      It would be a good idea to check. I have vids about checking piston to valve clearance a couple of ways. The absolute minimum effort check is to turn the engine over by hand before it's ever started and make sure there is no contact. That won't tell you if clearances are technically sufficient, but at least maybe the piston won't hit the valve and ruin it as soon as it fires up.

    what about 2 stroke pistons ive seen windows cut out on the intake side and holes drilled in the exhaust side.whats your take on this?

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  7 років тому +1

      Not at all related to this topic.
      Dimples or even holes on the exhaust side are usually for oiling/cooling and must be done so that they don't align with any ports.
      I'm not sure that windows on the intake side do much of anything on the case-reed inducted engines that scoots I'm used to have.

    How thin can you get away with on the piston crown where the relief is on a small engine like this?

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  2 роки тому +1

      It depends on the exact design and use, but I was never able to nail down a concrete answer. I would try to stay 0.100" or thicker, but I did one about 0.065" after reliefs and it didn't come apart. Probably pushing it.

    How does this effect the balance of the rotating assembly?

    • @49ccscoot
      @49ccscoot  4 роки тому +1

      If you had everything balanced, then it prob wouldn't be wise to then cut material out of the piston. In that case, mock up and cut then balance. Otherwise, it's likely a minimal change unless you've really got to cut a lot. Beats the alternative of smacking a valve into the piston still.

      @@civilianspaceagency7106 Apparently you've never installed a big bore kit. Remember that this video was made about a scooter. The big bore pistons can be quite a lot heavier than stock. If anything, you'd be putting it closer to original balance by notching in this case.
