New here! Finally getting around to workimg on pop's old DT. Got a Rex's ignition kit on the way, Cylinder bore in great shape but I need a piston. Anybody here have pistons and rings for sale? Found a small crack on my piston skirt. The existing piston has .020 stamped on the head, and RT2 embossed inside it. I'm assuming that's not a dt360A piston? Should I find another RT2 .020 piston or go back with a dt360A piston? From my measuring attempts with a caliper this is what I gathered:
Piston diameter
Just below rings 80.21mm
@ Wrist pin 80.38mm
@ piston Skirt 80.37mm
Cylinder
Near Skirt 80.46mm
Near Top 80.49mm
Ill take the jug and piston to work tomorrow and try to get a better measurement with a t-guage and micrometer.
Thanks Devin! Very excited to find some help and get this bike back to thumpin. I thought I was up a creek until I discovered the forum!
Hello, and welcome to the forum ......
Although these DT360 pistons are obsolete, and very hard to find, I do have all of the over-sizes.
I used to have a cylinder boring business, so I'm one of the few people that still have some of these.
Let me know what size you want, and perhaps I can fix you up with a new set.
Welcome to the forum. I received your private message. You came to the right place. Enduronut may be the only person or one of the only people left in the world that have several oversize DT360 pistons. Sorry for the slow response. Enduronut & I worked sun up to sundown. We usually respond within 24 hours.
