[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 222323, member: 4617"] Keeping the odyssey alive and kicking. Have been riding the 1200 with the new shocks and almost have them dialed in for solo riding. Will be trialing with Sonya very soon. Found out an interesting tidbit. Hagon shocks out of the UK are owned by Wilber shocks out of Germany. Apparently Hagon shocks are manufactured in the UK, but the final touches such as setting for the rider profile is done in Germany at the Wilber plant. Both are good shocks. Went to my local machine shop to discuss piston rings yesterday. Thanks to Canuckxxxx I found a set of rings for a 2000 1.6 litre Tracker at Rock Auto that should meet a 1200 engine rebuild requirement. The rings are 1.2/1.2/2.5 mm respectively. The bore of the Tracker engine is 75mm, the bore of the 1200 engine is 75.5mm. The ring set comes in a 1.0 mm oversize, and as such the rings are then good for a 76mm. Ring gap would have to be adjusted, but there is not a lot of material to remove. 0.5 mm is not a lot. The piston ring set is from Enginetech. The fellow at the machine shop mentioned that most of Enginetech ring sets are made by Hastings. Here are the spec sheets from Rock Auto: [ATTACH type="full" alt="ENGINETECH Ring set - 1.pdf"]21762._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="ENGINETECH Ring set - 2.pdf"]21763._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
