Got Burned Again. Bought After Market Rebuild Kit Off Ebay (Mixed Matched Parts). Cylinder Out Of Spec. Should Have Went With Bore Job & OEM Parts.
Thanks Everyone For trying To help

I tried an 86 head on it real quick & compression dropped another 15 psi. I did the squish test with that head & clearance was way more that the stock 84 head. I'll have the milled 84 head back today & see where the compression is at. As for the expansion ring I guess I am going to have ...

Quick Update. I purchased an OEM complete gasket kit. I'm also having the head milled, still waiting. But as I'm waiting & wondering why the compression would be so low with a complete rebuild I thought back about the installation. When I got the kit I removed the head, jug, piston & rings &...

Thanks!!! As I now recall opening the small box that the kit came packaged in, the head gasket was was crimped from bending it into the small box. I was upset at the time but it was ebay & you get what you pay for & sometimes it's not packaged good. I used it hoping it would be OK. I'll go t...

If not, the mic is reading 1.18mm at the tip of the solder. I have been reading every post ...

Granddad here (Tony) with one pic of the Spree I bought & rebuilt for my son, $300.00 from a neighbor. I actually ride it more than my son & I love it. I will post more later, I just wanted to show another Spree lover.

I have a 1984 nq50 Iowa & want to install a kick start. My question is will the side cover kick start unit off a sb50 fit the spree.
Thanks.
