79 HD cylinder

jden73 · 08-27-2017, 12:21 PM

I have a 79 HD and looks like the clip on the wrist pin for piston broke or came loose. the wrist pin slid up down the cylinder walls to the point that I doubt there is a bore big enough to fix the scaring. Anyways, my search for a top end rebuild kit has come to an end. It seems there are no cylinders for this motor in this hemisphere. I have been looking for about a month and can't even find a used one. There is one I on ebay and the guy wants almost $600.

Does anybody know where I might find one? or maybe an alternative fix? I am frustrated with this search already!!

Not sure why this is listed for a newer model this should work for 67-81

For what ever reason, these guys post that they have them but they don't. I called Advantage distributing direct to make sure they had one to send. They said they were hoping to have some in by the end of September.

Gotcha yeah I ordered a kit from eBay I'm not sure if this was the same ad but it was good quality.

The 1982 and up has a very different exhaust port requiring a donut like gasket and different exhaust pipe.

Be patient with it. Vintagegolfcartparts.com has the top end kits listed as being available in a couple of days.

This happens now and then with the old carts. Parts come and go.

I hope so. I've bought quite a bit of stuff from those guys over the years. They've been legit and they're first guys I go to when I need something. I'd much rather buy from them than someone on ebay.

I pulled the cylinder from Ebay as I received too many silly offers, will recondition it and then repost it.
