I definatly hear more piston noise from mine durring warm up but not so much when its hot
I was thinking of putting an iron sleeve in one if the bottom ends are pretty bulletproof
Ive spunn the crap out of mine & it seems to be hanging tough but the rod & wristpin seem pretty wimpy
thanks for your input
take care

The only thing that has broke on my 'vintage' kings motor was the cast intake. He sent me another 3 weeks after emailing him about it. In the meantime I got a chrome one from Dennis Foster. I'm now over 3200 miles, and it's still going strong. Wish I had bought 3 or 4 of his kits 4 years ago!
