I ordered two kits from gasbike.net. the first kit was missing the needle bearing. They also sent the wrong sprocket / rag joint / split metal pieces. The 9 holes in the sprocket are the "small" bolt hole circle and the rag joint and split metal pieces are for the "large" bolt hole circle.
I got the second kit and when I took the piston out of the box the top ring was in two pieces. I didn't drop it or anything - it came out of the box that way !!!
granted, the kits were $128 shipped, which is a **** of a deal, but I'm not very happy with having to deal with wrong and/or broken parts. I've been talking to a guy named Lorenzo at gasbike and he says they are going to send me replacement parts. He's probably going to send me a replacement piston ring, but I have to install it on the piston myself, and I'm worried that the replacement ring will also break.
I'll update this when I get replacement parts in the mail..... still waiting.
