After getting my cylinder back from bore, the piston kit i received came with rings gapped at .028 (.70mm). The stock 52 piston gap range is .004 - .010. So .028 seems way over even with the piston being bigger than stock.

Honda atc 110. Stock is 52, got bored to 52.75.

Is there a way to lubricate engine components without splitting the case?

First time "rebuilder" here. Working on a small 1982 110 honda.

Last year I split the case and took everything out to "give it a good clean". After assembly and not being able to fire it up I took it apart again to troubleshoot low compression. I realized I was suppose to use assembly lube. The only thing I lubed up was the transmission gears. My inexperience had me thinking the rest would lubricate when i topped off the engine oil.

I took the cylinder and head off, so I can lube those up, but im trying to figure out a way to do the rest without having to re split the crankcase again.

After doing a half ass valve adjustment I got my compression from 60 to 105. The valves are new. Do they have to be lapped and will that increase my compression? 82' Atc 110

Do I need to unmount the engine and disassemble the transmission again to adjust timing?

I got cylinder bored and decided to take everything apart and inspect while I waited for my parts to get shipped back. After assembly and atc not starting I realized my timing is off by a couple teeth.

Its my first time rebuilding one of these.

Does anyone know someone who makes custom parts for the monkey? Im looking to have a custom rack made and would prefer to go with someone who is familiar/experienced with the monkey layout. If not, ill prolly go to a local shop.
