yup sure is. when i bought the piston/ring kit off ebay it said it would fit an lt230 with .010 over bore so im positive its the right kit i just was skeptical about the oil not being in the bottom of the jug after a few turns by hand. So im hoping the oil pump will take care of things once its fired up lol. oh i also put new valves in it as well :P

right on boss, umm im not too sure on what is going on there, what i normally do if im unsure of the size well now i have the tools to measure it but before i would get the biggest bore i could find and then take it to a machine shop, just to be safe or i would get a cylinder sleeve with a stock size piston and rings

ah well im fairly certain that its correct. my dad is a machinist out at the space center and was able to take it in to work and get it bored for me. he said he had a couple guys who are big in to atv's take a look at it and measure it a few times before he started boring so i have faith in him lol. but anyways glad you could confirm my oil suspicions, appreciate it :P
