Piston options for 186cc reed valve cylinder?

[ArKaTxU]

Hi.
What are the options now to convert a TV175 cylinder to a reed valve?
I need only a piston.
Thanks

Mitaka ,the same one used in the GT 186 kits

Not sure what rod you'd need though - possibly standard 107mm

I have just done a RD350 piston conversion on a SR175 barrel using 60 x 107 crank. I got 3mm taken off base off barrel. I think the TV 175 used a 58 x 116 crank. Would this mean you would need a packing plate? 6mm?

Have you a standard TV ( 58 x 116 mm ) crank already fitted Ackba?

Thank mates!
No Ian, I have the TV barrel but still I dont have the crank.

Are you sure that youtake off 3mm with 60x107?, its possible that you have 60x110?

Yes definately took 3mm off the base of a standard length barrel (101mm). I think if you use a 110mm rodded crank with a std barrel you dont need to remove anything.
I am sure I have a 60 x 107 mec crank. I only bought it earlier this year.

Ok.

Admiral - you need to find out what the compression height is for the RD 350 piston. Then you can work out what rod length / crank / cylinder machining best suits your intended set-up and pocket.
