I'm rebuilding my first adult quad and need some help with the piston rings for it. The size of the piston hole is 66mm. I did Hone the hole. Would I just get the rings that are 66mm like the ones in the link? Thanks

yup thats the one you need. just make sure they are for the 85 230s that you have. 87 and above are thicker.

 

But is the piston a 66mm?
You get the rings for the piston size, not the hole size.
You may indeed be correct but you better make sure.
Personally, I'd stick a new piston/rings in it.

 

yes the piston is 66mm to.
If the piston is in great shape your still saying to to buy a new one?

 

everyone does it their own way. if the piston is in great shape i wouldn't. if you re trying to keep cost down i'd just get the rings.

 

Are the 87' LT230s pistons the same as the 85'

 

I've never been a rings only guy.
If the piston has a dull finish, it's wore.
Only real way to make a decision on the piston is to measure the piston to wall clearance. Above .006/.007 and it's time for a new piston.
I just don't want you to get it together and have a problem.
