if you replace your piston, you think they are dead...your cylinder is also not good.
the measure you must take are impossible to good taking because the usuries to take are in front of holes or around holes.
See my website and you will see where is your cylinder normaly damaged

I don't understand what you are talking about. I'm replacing the pistons because the bike for some reason leaned out while my buddy was ridding it down the highway and put a hole in the right piston. The sleeves were already checked and honed by my local machine shop. they look brand new. Oh yeah it's a 1977 that my buddy bought for 300 bucks Neither he or I care if it is not 100% perfect just trying to get it back on the road. Thanks for the torque specs.
