Hi guys,

Sorry it's been a bit. Where's the best place to get deals on piston and ring kits for my 1972 h1b 500 (.020 over)? Also, any good machine shops in Colorado (south west, 4 corners area)? That anyone might know of?

Any advice would be awesome!

Thanks!

Forged or cast pistons?

I've always had good results with forged pistons on my RD in years past. So probably forged as I tend to ride pretty hard on the throttle.

Thanks!

You will find a better price on Wisecos sometimes, but in my opinion the Wossners are of a much higher quality, but can be more expensive. I only use Wossners in my motors and get them from Jim at fastfromthepast.com

Does jim sell kits for wisco as well? Does he sell all different ones?

Jim only sells Wossners. You can Google Jessbikes, I think he has the Wisecos, or even E bay.

Cool, thanks for the info, I will take a look at both. Cleaned up my heads a few weeks ago, had some surgery on one of my wrists so I have some down time from work. Polishing the heads (slowly) with one hand to occupy my recovery time.
Will post some pics.......

Advice on best heat paint to paint/seal aluminum on heads and jug fins?

After and before, still a little more to go.

If you have to paint, automotive paint they can put in a spray can. The regular can stuff will wash off with a gas spill
