Get yourself to "Grampian Engineering" to get it re pinned (not too far away from you)

just re read your post and noticed its an indian top end so I assume its a cheapo piston and re pin may outweigh just buying a replacement unit

thanks for the replys,as for assuming a cheap piston which is prob correct but I`ve had the same troubles with a peg coming out of an asso piston and messing up my top end up after it had been sorted to 14.65bhp..
and also it is the original piston
