That's the information I needed, Paul. Thanks very much. I'll take the cylinder to a machine shop now and see what size piston it will need after it's bored out enough to clean it up.

Re: Ace 90 piston size identification
Thanks for the info. I guess I should let a machine shop tell me what size piston I need too. I just thought that there might be some mark on this piston to tell me whether it's the original (factory-stock) size or not.

Ace 100 gears in an Ace 90 case?
My Ace 90 has started making a terrible clatter in the gearbox. It sometimes shifts with a crash, and the transmission now rattles in every gear at one throttle setting or another. Therefore, it's time to split the cases and see what's going on in there. As long as I'm going in there, I wonder if it...
