I seem to remember a posting on here a while back where the guy ordered a
set of brand new Nikasil lined jugs and pistons from Teo Lamers in Italy for
about $300-$400 or so. Took a few weeks to get here, but a very good price.
If the exchange rate is favorable, I'd go that route.
Just my $.02

After pulling the head, I noticed that the previous owner must have replaced the piston, but the cylinder is very worn, and rings were broken, base gasket torn, hence my compression problem I assume. (70psi, with throttle wide open) What are my options here? Since I am doing this, I will do both sides at once, but being new I have no clue as to where to begin. I did speak with one of the Guzzi suppliers today who mentioned purchasing cylinders that had been re-chromed. He had a set with pistons. What about Nikasil (sp?)? What about boring and lining? Thanks for your opinion.
