Being a moderator on the Mac Dizzy site, yes I have built a few.

If your cylinder hasnt been ported too much in the boost port area you can use the YZ piston & not have to do the piston ring pin mod.
You can use the YZ piston up to the 70.00mm bore.

Yes on the wrist pin.
The YZ piston looks just about like the old 85/86 model R piston except the locating pins for the rings in the grooves are in a different spot which will put the ring ends close to the edge of the boost port.

what's the piston ring pin mod? I ordered a 69.5mm wiseco piston and i've never heard of this before for a big bore piston.

If your building a 265cc & useing the YZ250 piston in the 250R Honda, the ring pin locaters are in a place in the ring groove that is too close to the boost port.
In other words the ring end is close enough on one side to allmost fall into the port window.

If the cylinder hasnt been ported or the boost port not widened you can run the piston with out the mod & be ok, but its still close.

What the mod to the piston is, that one locator pin has to be ground down flat, a new hole drilled & a new pin inserted to locate the ring ends in a different spot.
