I planning to up my Kriss MR1 engine to spec 53 but I wonder if the block really make more noise than the standard block, some say the oem racing block usually make looser cylinder block for easier piston movement but that also causing the piston make louder noise when working, is that true ?? Would like to hear the experience from anyone who using/used spec 53 block right now or before. Thank you.

Even the well known quality brand like Tobika's cylinder block also has the same noisier problem ?? By the way I willing to spend around RM1K if necessary to reborn my MR1 with everything DIY myself. If everything goes smooth and the bike work excellently for at least another 5 yrs then I say it is well worth.

QUOTE(iambryan1234 @ Jun 2 2024, 07:42 PM) If you want the bike to work properly, you keep it stock. Generally speaking aftermarket local blocks will have looser tolerances hence the additional noise QC however can be all over the place for these blocks ko igt ni Kriss ciplak baru tu yg pakai enjin China ke? I wonder if brand like Tobaki or Wstandard make better quality racing block consider they usually come with much higher price. What do you mean by keep it stock ?? Don't change the block but only replace the piston ?? Unfortunately I pretty sure my block is seriously damage due to the vibrate and sound it make if I apply like 50% throttle.

QUOTE(mADmAN @ Jun 3 2024, 12:36 AM) u mean piston to wall slap? if thats what u mean, then.... get ready for THISnot sure about kapchai applications... or even the type of piston (ie what material used) especially for all these local brands. but in modified cars, the higher piston to wall clearance is due to some forged pistons will expand more when heated...but they are also quite strong. downside is when cold, before it expands, u get piston to wall slap. might be the reason why the bikes setup is noisier than stock. Stock piston won't expand to temperature ??

QUOTE(mADmAN @ Jun 3 2024, 11:54 AM) Of coz they will...but...stock pistons r usually cast iron Cast iron pistons expand less than forged aluminium pistons n cast iron pistons expands faster than forged aluminium pistons. So cast iron pistons can have tighter piston to wall clearance So am I right to think that the forged aluminium pistons will make more noise when cold start and become less noisy after the heat is up because it expand and the gap smaller to the wall ?? By the way from Google it looks like aluminium and aluminium alloys are the main materials in modern engines. So every modern engine suppose to be noisy ??

Here another one about aluminium vs cast iron. Looks like aluminium not really that bad comapre to cast iron yeah ??

Looks like forged aluminum piston block is what I should looking for.  Source: https://global.yamaha-motor.com/business/mc...gingPiston.html

QUOTE(croydon @ Aug 7 2024, 09:56 PM) find reputable workshop to upgrade blok, cam, carb, clutch, sproket change blok only not much different buy good quality piston and piston ring, usually those cheap blok came with low quality piston, piston ring back in 2003 upgrade my EX5 with 53mm racing blok and carb RX100... couple years later changed to ori blok and rebore to 53mm without resleeve, high cam, carb wave125. used this spec till now I bought all the necessary parts online and do the overhaul my self about a month ago, the process is very challenging but the result is very satisfying.
