He'll have to source a piston, and knows that its all very experimental, and that the cylinder may need further work once the piston has been sourced....but we'll take it as it comes and see what happens.
Will keep you informed!

Doh!, umm.., if a carton of beer turns up at your door, be a champ and send it back...

s**t!! TRIPLE SHIIIIIIIT!!!!!!! HOW DID I MISS THIS SUPERB OFFER????? WHAT WAS I THINKING?????????????????
Dan, please please please pretty please please, may I be on the queue for the next one, if there is a next one? I have a Spanish Li150 Series two engine cracked up in half just to be rebuilt. That is why I am asking for a 150 cylinder, and I am sure as s**t I can meet your deadline any time. Make it five weeks, international delivery included.
May I?
All the best,
Jaime

Ha ha

OK, supereibar.....you are next on the freebie list!
Here's current spec to run it in:
Ancilloti 42mm clubman,
28PHBH carb jetted as a starting point,
main 118
choke 70
slide 40
x7 needle
AV266
pilot 50
Remote Air filter(put back on after video)
standard Italian Li150 gearbox(15x46)
Timing 19BTDC(set at fast,cruising revs)
squish set at 1.3mm.
Once we get it in for a dyno, i'll also have an expansion chamber on standby, so we can do back-2-back dyno runs with clubman and filter, against expansion and open mouth.
