Never heard of expansion holes in a piston before(had to go back and check twice if i heard correctly) . Please explain how it/they work. Always eager to learn new things.
The engine shop that repaired and honed the jug, also got me the piston. He usually checks the gap for me too but I did my own check off camera before assembling
Just in theory with out the power valve connected to the govenor in The motor the machine will not turn on right? Just hella low compression? Just a question 01 kx125
The power valve has nothing to do with compression. If you connect a compression tester to the bike. You will get the 100% same results with the powervalve connected or not connected. So the bike will "turn on" and start with the PW not connected. The bike will even be fully rideable. You will just lose some power on the top end.
Hey bro I got a question man I got a 04 kx 125 that has a Athena cylinder on it so I got the same cylinder and it came with a head gasket that I lost so I ordered a new one but they said I don’t need the gasket only the 2 black o rings is that true I don’t need that gasket just them 2 o rings thanks
Hey bro I’m doing a top end on my 04 kx 125 and I’m probably just over thinking this but I got a new Athena cylinder and the head is 2 pieces the center is gold can I just put the plug in it and seal it up thanks bro

No. The dome uses 2 high temp o-rings to seal against the head.
