just the rings

[98670X]

hey, i cant afford 600 bucks for the fix so before she blows im just thinkinin re ring the dragon, what do you all think?

Rings are not the problem.Sloppy pistons,weak cyl's,poor fuel mapping and a bunch of other stuff is.The fix will HELP with this stuff.

Ive got 1500 kms on er, pcv slp clutch kit, i understand the sloppy piston thing. Wisco sells the rebuild kit for 350 and the fix is bout 600 from what i seen, so whats different beside the metal base shim riser thing?

The pistons are taller and fit tighter,the spacer is to keep same port timing.If you rode one with the fix kit I'm sure you would spend the extra $250.Do some reading in the IQ section,lots of info

I have done alot of readin on the fix and dont get me wrong i would love to put it in but money talks, just lookin for a temp thing i guess. Sled still runs but i was forced to do a 15 km road ride to the truck a couple weeks ago and in the last 5 kms the midrange started boggin real bad, any ideas?

Overheated it maybe,do a comp test,pull the Y pipe have a look at the pistons.

I always run with my temp showing and it never went over 52. Ill do a comp test, thanks for the help

Just did a comp test, both cyl are 110 phew, so im going to change my pcv map from DTR s 162 hp map to SLPs map as there is quite a difference between them. As far as my stumble that came outta no where, any ideas, it was between 5000-6000 rpm, something i didnt do at the time was change plugs so thats next also.
