I've worked hard getting my girlfriend into motorbikes, bought her a jacket and booked her CBT for xmas so she's actually cool with it  8)

I'm taking my cylinders to a machine shop today to get measured. If I do have to get them rebored is there any reason not to go straight to the 1mm max rather than doing the minimum necessary?

Hopefully it will be within specs and I won't have to bother but just thinking if I'm going down that route I might as well get the most out of it right? The workshop doesn't state what diameter the cylinders need to be rebored to for the different size overbite pistons which is a bit confusing  :-\

Cancel my last i had the barrels measured up and they are all good, just getting a hone.

Also took my head in and they checked all the valves sealed correctly but they didn't check any clearances as i still had the valve springs all attached (my spring compressor actually arrived today and i went straight from work to the machine shop) but they were confident they were all good (they were both also motorbike enthusiasts), should i be alright to take their word on it or should i still take the valves to bits? They did however find the head was ever so slightly warped so is getting a light skim.

Guess thats me about ready to split the cases then  :D

Jut thinking ahead slightly for once, what gasket/seal sets do you guys recommend? I see the cycle x set gets good reviews but seems difficult to get in the UK..

Theres cheap 'NE brand' ones on eBay and some even cheaper seemingly unbranded ones but I'm wary of either so suggestions appreciated!

Thanks mate, made more sense to me to buy a cheap engine stand and just adapt it for a bike engine rather than buying a dedicated bench top engine stand for almost the same price.
