The Hodaka Club Forum

hey all here's a question. when cleaned up the cylinder +7 was stamped on the top of it. ive looked thru the forums and stuff could not find the answer . have to ask the big guns, thanks

Short answer is that it means absolutely nothing that is useful to us as the end users.

It was used by the original engine builder in the Hodaka factory so that they could match up pistons to cylinders. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but that's what I've come to understand.

Roger’s statement is accurate. All we’ve been told here is that new cylinders and pistons were coded after being spec’d out with a number. So “7” pistons went with 7 cylinders as a best match scenario. Victor

thanks gentleman. one more thing to learn and one more thing not to think about..
