Re: Granturismo 200cc piston oversize stockists

also checked the DT175K compared to the RD350YPVS (piston used on original GT200's) on the TKRJ manual. This states a 0.5mm lower crown height on the DT175K piston.

The dome height is 1.5mm higher but that isn't the end of the world. Over-sizes for this piston will take you to 67.5mm as I understand.
Thanks Richard

Re: Atomiser modification

As you have already said it been bored /drilled/reamed out by Harry Barlow ,so why would it be tapered, the difference between an AV and an AS atomiser is the height and can be altered easily

Re: Refueling routine. It's been a long time

Well if you read most aftermarket kits they still quote 4%, probably to safe-guard themselves .though, personally I would stick to 4% on an iron barrel and 3% on nicasil lined ,yes oil is better these days ,so there is an argument either way, if your happy to drop your oil ratio on an expensive kit ...
