Thanks for the info/links people!

That guy on youtube has some good info.

Basically, after some checking, this was originally an 86 bottom end, which had been fitted with a Hetrick Powervalve topend.

After some measuring, it was using the 5mm spacer plate, an 86 piston, and the 5mm longer 87-89 rod.

So the plan is to sell the powervalve, order a new 'late' crank, an 86 piston, and use the spacer plate, along with a ProDesign Cool Head.

The guy on youtube video said the cylinder on the left is a 85 and it is a 86 the only difference is, the 85 cylinder does not have a web attaching the reed valve to the water spigot on the rear of the cylinder .

Not a big deal but if you are talking about correct cylinders the info should be correct !
