172 piston..

will a 172 piston from my gilera fit into my typhoon 172 bore cause my gilera has run out of m.o.t so it of the road for now and my typhoon sitll road legal just needs a piston...

please help....

 

dont think it does tbh mate runner being liquid cooled and the typh being aqir cooled i think there are some diffrences

 

o.k i phone up psn scooters today and he said that when you when you buy a new 172 gilera bore kit or a 172 typhoon bore kit both bore are the same and the piston are the same as well. just that the gilera bore is water cooled. and a new bore kit comes with a grad (A) piston....any way he said it would be fine but when i buy my next piston for my gilera buy a grade (b) piston...

i just wont to get out on my bike.
but dont wont to go puting the gilera piston in my
typhoon and it fucks the piston and bore then that two piston
im left to buy........ :banghead:

some 1 must of done this....

 

PSN are just trying to take ya money... piston and barrel catagories are there for a reason, trust minor as he is the man for these things for sure.

 

o.k,,, right iv fitted the piston and it seems to be fine and got lots of compession but not started it yet. but will be tomorrow hopefully it o.k and works fine. but will let you no how i get on...

 

are then letters the same brap 172zzzz!

 

duno cause aint got the typhoon piston no more. so i dont no but im hoping it will be o.k. when i start it up do you no how long it would take to no if it the wrong one...like wiil the bike just stop or some thing....

 

why didnt you check the bottom of the bore as the markings minors on about are also on the bottom on the bore

beit A,B,C

 

Do things on the cheap... and just end up doing them twice...

As for posting asking for advice, and then just completely ignoring it anyway... cratch:

 

i by things new,


but seriously brap 172zz if you ask a ? an people answer you should take the advice there not gunna say it for no reason an that advice was ti simple look on the bore see what marking was on it an see what marking was on the piston then bosh u would know if its cool or not, but now its in your obv not gunna take it apart to check it are you? so your gunna wait till you ride it an see if it works or fs up your piston AN bore.

 

o.k minor.... iv been in the shed today and found the piston that come out of my 172 typhoon.

the only numbers i can see on the crown of the fucked 172 typhoon piston is (5v) and an arror that points down towords the exhaust. and in side the piston it got (2791)...and on the side of the 172 typhoon bore i can only see (8235)...

on the gilera 172 piston crown it got (5v) and the arrow that points down towords the exhaust. and in side the piston it got (2791)...

so both piston have got the same numbers so im alright to use the gilera piston right.

 

check the BOTTOM of the bore it should be marked with A,B or C

 

both bores aint got A.B OR C. but both piston are marked the same.....

 

i looked for the letter before when i had my kit off but couldnt find it.. any1 got a pic of where they are? im looking to buy a new piston soon, dont wanna be buying the wrong one. :good:

 

there on the bottom of the bore or atleast mine was cratch:

 

yeah i know but where?

like the bottom edge on the outside? or the bit where the gasket goes, or the skirt... i dunno.. i couldnt find it on the bottom of my bore

 

any one no were this A.B OR C is cause im still looking. only thing apart from (5v) an arrow that points to the exhaust ther is a 50 stamped on the bore with a ring of dots around it....

so no A.B OR C on the bore but piston and numbers are the same.

cause im sure ever 172 kit comes with a grade (A) piston..and grade (B)&(C) is if
you was to change your piston after a couple of thousand miles then you go to a grade (B) then so on. so even if the had (a on it. would,nt surely an grade (B) be o.k it would just meen a tighter fit... thats wot these grades for right....
