So im putting a cheap chinese 434 big bore on my ltz 400 and Ive noticed on the piston the gap where the connecting rod connects to the piston is a 1/8” larger than than the gap on the 400 stock bore piston that was on the quad. It is a 1” gap on the stock piston and a 1-1/8” gap on the 434 piston. Is this normal or not? I know side to side play is not usually a concern but It just seems like an awful lot of play to me and it had me to concerned. Thanks. less

First off this on a ltz400 but basically the same motor and the ltz reddit page is pretty dead so I figured id post this here.
