The manllal says there are twenty but I only count 19. Will it be O.K. to a~ .semble it with only 19? B.R. Canoga Park, CaI.i1.. AlS1IER: Yes, tbe loss of one bear- ing will not cause undue harm. But why not just buY another bearing? QUEmON: Almost every [oar stroke engine f have seen has three rings 00 the piston. Ace three necessary and what detel'mines this? O.K. - Torrance. Calif. AJIS1IER: Lets start with the neoes- QUEmON: I have an iron barrel Greeves #34A engine. I have been told that there is some kind o[ Chevrolet condenser that can be fitted to replace the standard unit [oe beuee service. Can you help me with the pact numbee oe any in/ormation on this? Also is theee any quick way to checlc timing on these beasts undee field conditiolIs? T.H. - North Hollywood. CaliL have a 1964 BSA 250cc which has a Triumph 65Q piston. The only series of numbers 1 can find are BA. 14087,' and 413. 1 am not sure o[ the bore. Could you tell me what my total displacement is? 1 wlJuld also like to know how far this is ovecbored, and how much lbis leaves me. B.W.Lubbock, Texas. AlSWER: The replacement conden- C-15 that bas a ~e of of 2.6375-. I must assume that the Triumph piston is stock size and its dimension wouldthen he 2.795-. The cYlinder of your BSA is now .1575 overbored. 1 have no idea of the remaining wall thickne"ss. That could only be ascertained by a visual inspection. Your total displacement is now 21.64 cu. inches or 354cc·s. QUEmOI; I ser you need is a Delco 0-203 or equivalent. To quickly field-time your Greeves. the piston's position "in relation to top de a d center must be checked. You could do lihis easily witb a guage through the spark plug bole. Tben the remaining steps of setting the points at 5/32nd's before" T.D.C. witb a .015 gap would be easy. ANSWER: Your BSA 250 is a model sity of one. This mst ring is the lower one on a piston and is responsible for oiling the cy JiDder "II' alls. thus it' 5 ne cessi ty .is established. The next ring or rings are solely for retaining tbe expanding gasses above the piston. In engines of small displacement or low compression. one ring may be all that is needed. However. in most engines above 250Cc the combustion pressures are great enough to require two rings. It's a fact that the fewer rings that can be tEed. the better. Most of the beat in a pis ton is tzansferred from cylinder wall to piston via the ring. because it is in constant contact with tile wall. while piston skirt contacts are less conductive to beat. due to intermittent friction witb the cylinder. Rings are also additional weight to, the piston. which may seem unimportant but eveO' little bit coonts in a higb performance e ~ .................................... ..."....". ............................................. ............................................. ...". ...".~ INTERNATIONAl MOTO CROSS EVENT (Last of senes) -ACA-RM tile $ale.
