Question Will katana pistons fit in my TL engine?

But its a little like throwing a hot dog down a hallway...




People see the size of these things and say holy $hit!.. No wonder it barks so different.

Ok im done amusing myself.

Yep old engine. The new one is doing fine except for an oil leak which i expected (clutch side gasket/waterpump seal). She like crazy as it seems the front sprocket is missing one more tooth than it should. i will be fitting my TRE into it tonight to see if it helps with that problem and probably fitting the sprocket off my old engine before i lose my license.

edit:any links to this monster kat?

There's no wonder why people complain about the exhaust pulses from high level cans on a TL.......especially with very high compression aswell

I'm sure I could blow a hole in a sheet of paper held 6" from the can outlet, must try one day
