So at 70 hours I decided to clean the power valve and check my cylinder.While I am doing this on my own I thought instead of just rings I should take a new A piston and get done.
When the new piston came from GG I took a look at it and the first difference was that mine was A 71.93 but the new one A 71.94.
Second difference is that in the opposite side from the arrow are the pins which hold the rings.... Now in the old one the pins are one to the left side and one to the right side and in that way inside the cylinder move without passing any port as it seems. On the new one the pins are almost to the center of the back side of the piston with only a tiny difference amongst them and it looks like while moving they will pass from the back central port of the cylinder.
(when I get my hands at the photos with the pistons I will post them because they are on a friends phone which is Spain for the presentation).
After mailing GG about this (by the dealer here in Athens) they answered that regarding the size the new A's are 71.94 and not 71.93 and about the ring pins they said that the new pistons are like this and that there is no functional issues but I am not convinced about that.
Both pistons are made from vertex and S3 is engraved on top.
Has anyone in here encounter anything like this.?
