if i were u i would change pistons piston rings wrist pins all at the same tiem your in there u paid for the top end gaskit set why not do it all rather then have a piston go down and pay abother time for the top end kit while your at it u should think about doing your chaine case bearings gears chain this could save you alot of money if a chaine brakes and piles up for chaine case that can be pricy same as on your P.T.O. side drive bearings however if i were u i would wait till end of season its not that far away

I agree,as long as its apart and you have the whole offseason do it right,and have the bore checked also,no sense of doin a top end if the bore is not within specs,or maybe you can stuff a 550 in there?? IMO id go with polaris or weisco piston kits,theyre a lil more,but you get what you pay for.

Ya i agree with them. If you are tearing it down then you may as well put in a ne piston wrist pin ect. Then you only have to take it apart once instead of doing it again in a year or two. Good Luck
