I'm checking out pistons and rings for my 1973 850 Commando.
The company I deal with sell two types:
1. SET–PISTONS +20 -HEPOLITE BY JCC TAIWAN- w/PINS CIRCLIPS UKRINGS -COMM 850 (PR) $232.05
2. SET–PISTONS +20 – w/RINGS CIRCLIPS PINS – GANDINI (ITALY) – NOR (PR) – SPECIAL $495
anyone have any issues with the Hepolite pistons or is the Gandini ones the way to go?
Bike won't be raced to thrashed in any way. I have 8 other bikes for that.
Also.. I've always used copper head gaskets in my Triumph's and BSA's. The gasket kit they offer has a composite head gasket included and not a copper gasket. Can anyone have any problems with the composite gaskets?
Original copper head gasket looks like there was some kind of material or dirt left on the surface when it was installed last leaving it un reusable.
