Re: 1999 900 tiger shark Hole in center piston
I am not a big fan of just doing one cylinder. It is extremely rare when I will not at least do new rings on every piston regardless of how good the compression might be. If you have more than 12-15 lbs. of compression difference between cylinders, it will not run correctly. I have never done a 900, but I believe the jugs are separate and thusly can be done this way. Definitely the base and head cover gasket would need to be replaced. I always do the exhaust gaskets as well, although I have seen them re-used with the high temp red gasket maker.It's up to personal discretion as to what gaskets you replace, are you trying to save money, selling this, repairing for someone else?
