a couple questions on big bore kit (Spree)
OK, I received my 44mm big bore kit for my 86 spree. I cant tell a difference in the two rings, does it matter which ring goes on top/bottom or are they the same?
It states in the instructions, "if you add another gasket you will not need to machine the head"
It came with 2 paper gaskets (1 for the jug to case and another for head to jug) there is also an aluminum gasket for the head to jug. Will these 3 give me enough clearance between the head and piston so I dont have to machine the head? Of the paper and alum gasket that goes between the jug and head, which goes on top?
thanks!

Re: a couple questions on big bore kit
yes it matters which ring goes on top, the top ring is a tiny bit skinnier than bottom one, the bottom ring will not fit in the top . generally there will be a small T on the left ring gap denoting the top of the ring on both. if you install them upside down they may ruin your cylinder and break.

Because a 44 BBK is not worthy anymore of a build thread, post *. Especially without a gear change and an intake kit.niftyman wrote:If you hav fitted the bbk why havent you started the build thread

Re: a couple questions on big bore kit
pretty much...once I make my build thread you will see why the 44 bbk is insignificant. I plan to make some headway on it tonight so maybe I will have some pics up tom or the next dayBear45-70 wrote:Because a 44 BBK is not worthy anymore of a build thread, post *.
