Piston mod
took off just enough at TDC to compleatly unrestrict my intake port
9 roller pin bearing, piston before dremil action.
replaced the bearing with a Stihl chain saw bearing (part # 95120032340) which is good for 13000RPM. Heavy duty for our use.

What did you polish on the head? The threads that arnt being used by the spark plug? ???Im curious?
It is hard to get a shinney surface to show up real good! I polished the squish band on down. only took a little off near the plug hole. Removed a few nicks and imperfections. It is still stock but polished now. I think the shape of the factory slant head is fine. So I do not plan much radical work here.

I just ordered a carb jet reamer kit. Will be ready to tweak the carb soon.
Thanks Taco! our carb is a 14mm. Stock carb on a 125cc vespa is a 16mm. so 14 is plenty big enough, just needs upjetted.

Squish band clearance on my pk80-j with the stock base gasket is 1.5cc with no head gasket. my factory head gasket is .7mm thick . so a clearance of 2.2mm with one gasket. now I have read that optimal clearance is ( 30/1000 in ) .762mm. will look more into this.
looks like a tomas moped biturbo exhaust. i was thinking about rigging one of those. let us know how it works...
Yes the 2 piece one, bought it from 1977 moped. Hope I can mod it up to my pk80. It is designed for a 70cc engine so I should be sweet!
Well I am still waiting on my motor mount ( Nov 20th ). I will update everyone when my parts arrive.
Motor mount arrived today! Looks great. Now if the intake and sprocket would just arrive! It has been a loong time coming!
