Hello all, this is my first install and I obviously did not do the "necessary" homework before hand....I've watched many vidoes and read lots of forums since my open box,read instruction install....so here's my problem, FYI have only just finished my first 16:1 mixture(half gallon)....I didn't check before initial start but realized immediately after startup that head bolts where not tight, so I tightened them and off I went....put in a couple miles ,no real throttle, parked and inspected ...i noticed a small knock at the time but had lots of issues to deal with after inital ride thus the homework ....jumping to the end of story, ive taken off a cracked head, noticed that the piston is/was hitting the head on one side (thus thus knocking and fracture)...I can tell the top of piston has small crescent indention/wear mark but the cylinder walls look good.....
obviously need new head and plug (any suggestions?), read I can double gasket for more clearance, but what of the piston? Is it ok, will i need to dig deeper? Want to add boost bottle as well , figured while I'm waiting I would port intake and exhaust too
