Scooterotica

got a 172 t5 barrel and using a worb 5 piston (suzuki ts185 - same piston as the lam 190 conversion)

i have cut the piston to the correct height - but havent put the window in it yet.

i have a head to fit the malossi piston but the new piston has a higher dome )and another head done for polini.

i can get head gaskets and base gaskets from worb 5 at 0.5 - 2mm thick

Just wondering what others have done with the heads for this type of conversion (polini 152 bored to 64mm would have the same issue and i have seen several people using)

any info gratefully received

hi M8 have you tried martin at chiselspeed he did my polini conversion with the suzuki 185 piston.

cheers for the reply

Martin has done all me heads in the past - TS1`s and Vespa. If i get some to do it, it would go to him.

i`ve got access to all the machinary to do it (and a great bloke for advice on using it on hand) - fancied having a go myself -

i`ve skimmed a few flywheels, milled down a yam reed block and just retapped a casing at the cylinder base following some ali welding (done in house) using a Bridgeport machine and lathe, pressed out a vespa link pin etc - just enjoying tinkering as a stress reliever from my daily job.

Gotta to go past Leeds next week so might just drop it in for easy - then study it !
