Another "Name That Piston" Game.
« on: May 20, 2012, 07:59:37 PM »






Seller had them listed as stock "sandcast" pistons.
Said that they were removed from a 70 Cb750, so I already know that the seller either A doesnt know what he is talking about or B is just slapping key search words on everything.

They very much look CB750 but i have never seen pistons with domes like that.
Anyone have any idea what they are?
Thanks so much

 I am not understanding what they ran in without any valve cutouts.!! what diameter are they.. I assume stock bore size, but appear to be able to run in a CB750 ..

Jaguar, what size are they?   Mine are 64mm/812cc.  I bought mine from a forum member here and they came out of a KO motor.  Mine have 1 piece oil ring that I cannot find a replacement for.  Here is a pic comparing the dome to stock...what kinda compression ratio are we looking at here?

If your oil ring land is 2.5mm just use CB350 twin oil rings. 3 Piece.
