I will check it on the left cylinder. I have a broken thread on the left cylinder, so I'll fix it by the way.

It gives me hope. And what happened later with this engine? It worked only for 1000 miles? Shortslosher wrote:Hi Tato

The problem here is if the crankcases were originally destined for Europe and we're fitted with Nikasil barrels then they are slightly different but if they were iron bores destined for USA then all j to b iron bore barrels will fit

Re: Suzuki GT 550 in Poland
Good to hear that. I am looking for a nikasil-cylinder on ebay. It's hard to buy. I'm sure I have crankcases who originally destined for Europe and fits with Nikasilslosher wrote:Motor is on my work bench and still ok only dropped in the frame whilst original motor was under going a big end repair Handy to keep just as a quick replacementtato81 wrote: And what happened later with this engine?
