  • Lidl is the newer, younger competitor of Aldi! People don’t realise Aldi came first!

    Guess how deep I got before lunch…

    Looking at the insane play in the little end bearing, but the relatively minor scoring on the piston… I am going to try to reassemble with just a new bearing for now.

    I want to do my research into people who can provide me a piston as well as the bore and hone. Then I can make a call whether to do the work or sell on the bike.

  • We don’t have Aldi here. Lidl is common and very handy for underwater welding equipment 😂😂😂

  • Well done for getting this far into it. Seems like assessing the situation yourself, before getting some help, is always a good move. If anything it's good experience and you're saving a few quid too. Fingers crossed the new bearing does the trick.

  • Good work. Post some pics of the piston and bore. Is it a steel liner?

  • Scoring on the piston skirt?

    See problem could be anything, only know when you take it apart.
