You do need to trim it to length. You can't just stuff it in there

haha... i trimmed the width to the right size... but the package says you have to use the whole length of it... i just cant get it to wrap that tight...

tho i havent put all my mite into it yet... ive tried pretty damn hard.... im sure if i put it in a vise... i would be able to wrap it tight enought...

but its making me itch just thinking about it

I have packed a few and never had to trim any but if you have a shorty silencer I guess you might have to. IDK.

i had to trim about an inch off the side... becouse my silencer was shorter than the packing...

Mihylo33 · Jan 14, 2011

yeah thats the norm...

bobkyle2 · Jan 14, 2011

well... i wish it was warm so i could work on the damn thing...

bobkyle2 · Jan 14, 2011

Mihylo33:

do you ever trim off the length of it

Mihylo33 · Jan 14, 2011

Yeah several times... the packing brand varies in lengths.

bobkyle2 · Jan 14, 2011

well sum bish... the package said to use the whole thing... im going to try it later... and i will get it one way or another... its just got to last me a few months... hell if keep having probs with the engine i might go ahead and tear it apart and just wait till i hae the money to finish it... and go ahead and but a complete pipe...

what i was wondering about ... if i tear this apart to check the cylinder ....should i re ring it... or just man up and get a piston too... i mean if it was a 4 stroke i would just re ring it if it mich'd ok and everything...
