Question 1

When should a 2-stroke cylinder be resleeved instead of replated?

Accepted Answer

While cylinders can often be replated, severe damage or multiple repairs make replating prone to chipping and thermal issues. Resleeving provides durable port edges and allows future oversize piston repairs.

Question 2

Are parts included with 2-stroke cylinder repair services?

Accepted Answer

No parts are included. Sleeves, pistons, gaskets, studs, and power valve components must be supplied by the customer or purchased separately through MotoMonk.

Question 3

Should the piston be sent with the cylinder?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sending a piston is strongly recommended so the final piston-to-cylinder clearance and piston ring end gap can be set accurately.

Question 4

Do power valve components need to be shipped with the cylinder?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Power valve components should be shipped with the cylinder to allow inspection and matching if required.
