I just purchased an Honda 1984 ATC 200x and I was wondering how hard it is to install new piston rings. It runs if I use an 60w oil so I'm pretty sure it's the piston rings.

Help is greatly appreciated

 

Hey how ya doin. It's pretty cut and dry if you have any engine knowledge, remove the motor from the chasis then the rocker housing (very top of the motor ), you will find the cam in their, remove all the electrical (CDI) from the side of the motor,remove the cam, don't loose cam chain down in the motor then pull the head and then the cylinder. I't only takes about an hour or so but when you are in their you might just want to chang the timming chain and sprocket.

 

I'm not really sure which new piston rings to buy. I've read about getting oversized rings to compensate for warn piston walls or can i buy new piston sleeves? So should I just get the stock size or is there something I'm missing?

help appreciated

 

has it been bored or do you have the stock piston in it . just take it to a parts dealer and ask what they think about the bore and then go from there
hope this helps nick
