    I guess the Mods have not approved the pics on my album. Sry @Yamdoot, I'll remind the mods.

    I know I haven't been posting pics for quite sometime now. Here're 2 pics; don't ask me which is stock position & which is advanced, without the timing gun working, I don't know



    This is the current position which it is running now


    And this is how the old stator plate looked like...

    I have almost zeroed the issue to the welded part which is near the drain bolt. I had interchangeably blamed drain bolt/welded piece (guess the cracked case was welded which I've no idea when it was done). Well, I'm planning to get an inspection done soon along with Aargee coming weekend if weather permits.

    @All: I have opened the thread of my issue in Help Me section RX135 Engine Oil leakage - Help ! . Kindly share your thoughts.

    Yes, it is yet to be approved by the mods. Thanks for offering help to my issue. Overall, I had always negated the idea of opening the case due to the fact that I did not felt necessary. Hmm... let's see what would resolve this issue.

    Previous read - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/thumpers-two-stroke-exotics/11324-rx-rebuild-using-3-yamaha-variants-77.html#post539128

    I was literally terrified of holing the piston; but then I picked up courage & then was riding. Next Monday I took the Rx to office, but the heat remained as such whether I ride for a 3 Km or 30 Km, which was little convincing.

    But for sure, I've now understood on how these things work (the fundamentals) after having fixed them all by myself & can confidently open up & put things back again

    While at the office, my colleague who's a junkie lends his timing gun to check & asks me to follow theory. But when I go home, the damn gun doesn't work. One week passes by fiddling to learn how it works.

    Next week, I got it working, but it would keep lighting even at a plastic ; damn back to square one. But for sure, the heat atleast remains far better than what it used to be before; no issues with top end or pickup or smoothness. By now, the gear shifts are smooth, excellent idling (trust me its the same old TM28 ) & things started looking good.

    Coming up...experience with changing 35/35 to 60/55

    Yes, with a compression tester like Aargee said.

    You'll need compression meter to carry out the compression test. The one I use looks something like this. I remember posting my tests on this forum somewhere, but unable to get.

    Regarding piston mods, it depends which piston he has used. Its usually a failure as it requires high precision machines and engineering. Hows your compression?

    ^^^ Guessed it; are you saying the pistons itself are locally made @Yamdoot? Any specific brand or are they nameless ? Obviously my next question will be, reliability & your experience?
