I'm rebuilding an '81 engine and in the process of teardown I found that at some point the bike sat with water in the cylinder causing erosion on both cylinder walls. I can get a set of cylinders off of an '82 for $40 that would just need a light hone and good clean up of the exterior. My question is this, the cylinders off of the rebuild engine are marked .010, the replacements I found are .013, will there be any fitment issues? I'm particularly interested in the cylinder to case fit. Do those numbers only affect the INSIDE diameter? Will there be any issues with using the pistons from the .010 cylinders. I know it's only 3 thousands difference and I wouldn't think there would be any problems, but this is my first motorcycle engine rebuild so I'm not sure. I believe the stock bore size is 75.013 - 74.960, which is a pretty big range. Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance.
