Webbie, you have two standard oversizes to go if you manage to wear out the 76 mm. bore, and 77.5 is an option after that. Just how long and hard do ya plan to beat on that poor bike?!
Oh I'd prefer not to do this again anytime soon, but if I keep the bike long enough, that eventuality will roll around, no?Webbie, you have two standard oversizes to go if you manage to wear out the 76 mm. bore, and 77.5 is an option after that.

Jack .No not do that it was brought to my attention that you were talking 78mm not 77.5mm we do. We have never gone that far so you may be right. I do not know. It probably would be getting pretty thin. GaryWell Gary I guess I'll just shut the fuck up ,don't want to misinform any member of this forum.
I use paint stripper for all my old gasket removal. It's probably much like that gasket remover you have, just a more heavy duty version. Maybe you do have all the gasket off. What you're left with may be corrosion on the aluminum. You may need to scrape and smooth that out with a small knife. Don't "shave" into the surface like you're whittling a stick, hold the knife blade about at a right angle to the surface and scrape.
Use your gasket remover and a pan scrubbing pad
Webbie, should have posted this before, but if you haven't had your cylinders bored yet, there's no need to have a new chamfer cut at bottom. Even with cylinders bored to 77.5 mm., there's plenty of the original chamfer left.
