    tell the mechanic to show you all the parts in original sealed packing before installing. that should solve your problem that instead of new block piston he will use old block with reboring.

    otherwise also a new block is easy to identify from outside, by its fresh looks and color, an old one even if washed n number of time with petrol or whatever can not look similar

    my personal experience, a rebored block is sometimes as good as new block piston, sometimes even better. it all depends on the guy doing reboring-how good he is. i have done engine overhaul 2 times -- once with new block piston and next with an oversize one and the kind of seal i got with rebored block ---i tell you man, new block piston set was nowhere near to that. but before doing that, i was also not sure how good the reboring job will be--but i trusted my mechanic fully and he sure did not disappoint me. so it all depends on mechanic.

    one very impostant thing, its better to get the block piston assembled in front of your eyes. and tell the mechanic to use some oil before inserting piston into block. many times mechanic neglect this part or forget due to time, but it may ruin your engine. also sometimes mechanic use -old used engine oil--do not let him do that as old engine oil always has metal particles that damage block rather than provide lubrication. even if you have to purchase and give him oil (although only few drops are required)--do it, but never let him slip piston into dry bore or with used engine oil.

    purchase and keep a piece of soft cloth with you, in case either block or piston gets even little bit dirty (either by keeping it on floor or anything), clean it with a new piece of cloth and not with a dirty cloth that mechanics use. cleaning it with dirty cloths will only ruin it further. i was rather surprised when my mechanic asked me to purchase a cloth of Rs.20/= to clean the piston, but he insisted, and believe me its better to spend on cloth than being unsatisfied with rebuild.

    believe me, i have seen people getting new block piston ruined in no time or not getting desired results because of above two reasons...
    [MENTION=15693]princesirohi[/MENTION] Can you please tell me the mechanic from whom you got your engine overhauling done.
    I'm planning to revive my Pulsar 150 2006 model. Planning to change the piston. I was planning to it done from the same mechanic from whom I get my bike serviced. Though he is pretty good at his work but i'm not sure how well he will be able to do the job.

    For owners of Yamaha two strokes in Chandigarh : Ramesh in Sector 20 Behind meat market. Mob 9878035282. He's extremely competent in terms of troubleshooting. He is not a performance tuner in terms of upgrades but reliably has upgraded several RX 100 , RD350 bikes (12v, cdi). Ramesh is an old gentleman and very proficient, though his son is more worldly wise in terms of making profits ;-)
