barrell and piston change

[stokeseys]

is it difficult to change the barrell and pistons??? might tackle it one of the days if it is straightforward enough!! and might even go for 1641cc. is this the largest you can go without modifying the engine??
additionally i have noticed that three of the fins on one of the barrels are broke. is this anything to worry about??
thanks

1641cc is the largest you can go without modifying the case.

The fins are on the barrels for cooling purposes.

I would recommend getting a few books having a read to build up some confidence and then give it a go.

Hope that helps.
