Just want to add to those out there wanting to do this type of work, correctly. Go to Tokyo Offroad videos to get the right information. In this video, there was no deglazing of the cylinder, when tightening the cylinder, at least tighten in a cross pattern, not one side and then the other. Also, do not put silicone on the power valve rubber seal and use a torque wrench on all bolts you can access. Last, the information of the day provided by the chubby Einstein guy, "if there seems to be something catastrophically wrong with the bike, just stop riding it" duh...

Fun video. Realistic job

Can't believe how young Jay looks in this video.

Great video. Thanks for the tips.

You can anneal copper washers and get two or three uses out of them.

Putting a new piston makes you look younger like brand new

Why would you put a c size piston in it, if it had 180 psi of compression with the 100 hrs piston?

2 strokiiessss

Hey guys, what premix ratio is Cole running in the 300? Cheers

You guys didn't deglaze the cylinder??

Anyone know if you can use a 2004 and newer piston for a 300exc in a 1999? And if not, why not, what’s different? The newer piston kits are half the price than I’m seeing for the 99-03

Do you know if Pro X pistons are any good?

Wouldnt it be better to go by compression instead of every 100 hours?

What 2 stroke oil did he run for those 100 hours and what ratio?

With your old piston another 50 hours of use

Is it normal to have that wear inside the cylinder bore?

Can't believe u guys are doing a video on how to do new top end piston change an don't have torch wrench !???....🤬🙃😴

How do i choose the piston corect size?

Those 300s go for 300+ hrs hard riding on the stock Piston

Only if it could really be done in 23 minutes….every year, every year until you either get tired of doing it or can’t afford a top end plus labor…..🤔😬

Not smart putting in a C piston without measuring the piston to bore clearance.

Every video I see like this with guys going 80 hours. 100 hours I just like to point out that as this gentleman said. Next piston he's gonna have to re-plate. And I know guys that will put 100 or 120 hours on a piston and replaced their cylinder every two or three pistons. And if you're like me and ride 4050 or even 60 hours in one season. Change of piston. Even if we only did 40 hours. Because 80 is too much and if you go longer the next year and you don't replace it, you're hitting that 100 mark. You will be replacing your cylinder as well. What you can get out of a motor is not what you should do even if you're a woods rider. You start to see blowby and the scuffing in this video at around 60 hours. Almost every single piston. If you are a slow trailes rider, I would replace it before then. A piston that is changed often the cylinder can last seven or even eight pistons. Which is about 340 hours versus 240 hours if you run it 120 hours each time.

I won't buy another vertex piston one I bought wrist pin wouldn't fit thru bad machine work
