need a engine rebuilder lt500

[bs traction]

ok here is the deal im on the last bore so it needs a new sleave i got it back from a local shop and it was sappost to be good to go took it to silverlake last year for the 2nd e2s trip and after running it for some time it would just die so i want to go back to stock bore and have the hole engine disassembled and checked out and reassembled My ? is who would be the best for this with a ok turnaround time ive never had over 115 psi of compression and this is getting old with this one

I hear your pain. 115psi is seriously lacking for a zilla but we've already had that conversation, you already know it needs fixing.

I would think that what else you want besides a simple rebuild should be considered before you pick a shop.

You can usually take the jug, case and the new sleave to a locally motorcycle shop and they should be able to do it for you. or you can take it to a machine shop. But i would still ask them the normal question. Also on the psi, I had something around 100psi with a nice size chip missing from my piston

[gogoquadzilla]

are you sure you're on your last bore? doesn't the stock sleeve allow for an 89.5 mm bore?

[burgiebird]

Yes it does and Im there right now.

i would have to pull out the last time it was bored but i had to buy diferent gaskets becouse of the bore size so im thinking it is on the last one

called trinity today and got some prices and it was 450 for a sleave that included piston and all parts plus matching the port and orings for the head 175 for complete tear down and letting me know what she needs thay are estamating 1500 to 2000 worst case i just dont know was thinking of thying copper gaskets from dr q just to see if thats it

I also want complete rebuild 88 lt 500 help

[grkguy]

you can buy a brand new jug from suzuki for like $550.00 that is the 88 one with 7 bolts check into it then you dont have to worry about all of that work you will end out about the same price
