Re: 440 trailfire pistons
Matt, What kind of compression are you getting in your Sportfire?Matt wrote:Agreed that 09-689 is the correct piston, and is listed as so in other catalogs. They're running in my Sportfire, and I'm sure many, many other Trail/Sport/Liquifires. Maybe the box/label wasn't correct for the piston?

Matt,
So what is the correct part number for the rings you used?

Re: 440 trailfire pistons
I haven't got it completely together to do a compression check yet but part number 09-688 is almost identical to the oem piston off my 80' trailfire, the only difference between the two is that the aftermarket piston's rings are slightly thicker than the OEM which shouldn't make a difference except the rings don't interchange, as tmartin has said in a couple posts they are the listing for the 70's arctic cat 440's. I will update when I get to the compression check.
