I just one the 440 piston and cylinder(jug) that has been on ebay. I won it for $305. My queations are, what parts like gaskets...etc. will I need to install it? Also, I have a Supertrapp silencer and am running a 155 main jet. What do you think i should go up to for a JE 440 10.5-1 piston? THANKS

Before you spend any more money. Mic the piston and cylinder just to be sure everything is OK. Most shops will check it for free.

A mic measures stuff in small sizes such as (.001)thousands and smaller if nessary(.0001).

I use them all the time in my machine shop and are easy to use if ya know what your doing.

mic is an abreviation for micrometer which is a highly acurate measuring instrument capable of measuring acurately to 1000ths of an inch.
