I'll have to double check, but I'm pretty sure the piston can go into the liner only one way because of the backplate recess cut in the piston. If you made a relief on the other side of the piston it can be done. The Teflon pad in the piston would ride on the port divider on either side of the liner though.
Ill check my .65 when I get off work.
You cannot run a sportster as ''rear exhaust'' because the wristpin is retained with a Teflon pad that rides on a port divider in the transfer port on the rear (I believe it's the rear). The Teflon pad would get caught in the exhaust port.
Thanks 1QwkSport2.5r
I knew something had to be screy with run them rear exhaust. My instincks were telling me that but I never had a sportster apart. A ton of other ingines.
What you said makes perfect sense.
I will just go hide and go duhhhhh[img][/img]

Its one of those things. There aren't many engines that have the cylinder being removable from the crankcase so this doesnt come up in conversation much. I did verify that at least on my .65's there is only one relief in the piston for the backplate, so unless you cut a relief in the piston on the other side, there isnt a way to swap the cylinder without disrupting the pistons fit to the liner. It would probably run, but who knows for how long.
