What's your DC plastics like?

Had no problems with the set on the 125.

If you don't fall off you are not going hard enough

2 Stroke ports are "chamfered", i.e. rounding off the ports so they aren't sharp edges.  This prevents wear and tear on the piston and rings as they pass over the ports (i.e., like going past a gillotine every stroke!).  4 Strokes have valves at the top so they don't have to worry about that :)

Yep know all that.
Was talking about the 'ramp' in the inlet tract.

2T Instutute.
Do you know Peter Sales. Was thinking of sending the cylinder to him for some work.
Or there is Wobbly.

Never heard of Peter Sales and he's never heard of me I suppose  :D Post a pic of the inside and the bottom of the cylinder, check for +ve or -ve deck height and give me the rod length, stoke and measurements from the cylinder top and I'll give you some pointers.
Truth is you can buy the stuff and do it yourself

Ah ok, I misunderstood since the last picture of the ports was the one shown by the question and I skim read so I just saw Ports, the last picture and assumed it was the chamfering lol

Problem.
The rod I ordered which the online fisch said was the superseded part number is too long.
Standard length 122mm. This rod 128mm.

Question. Should I make this a long rod motor.?
What negatives would there be , if any.?

I have access to a water jet to make the 6mm base plate.
Bore 72mm stroke 64mm.

1. a)YES b)NO
Looks for a piston with 6mm less comp height  ;) or cut the spacer plate.
What is the comp height, gudgeon pin size ,  length of your piston bottom of skirt to timing egde and distance to bottom of exhaust port.
