Motorcycle engines, including those of pit bikes, may occasionally emit a small amount of smoke. However, when a persistent and substantial volume of smoke is observed, it is imperative to investigate and resolve the underlying problem.
Note: The 88cc kits are engineered to maximize the size of the Honda 50. Consequently, the cylinder skirt is minimized and may fit snugly into the engine cases (spigot hole). It is advisable to test fit the cylinder prior to piston installation. You might encounter some surplus gasket material that needs removal. Additionally, it may be necessary to use a scotch brite pad on the cases (spigot hole) to ensure a proper fit. Ensure the cases and cylinder are well-lubricated.
Exercise extreme caution and patience. This is not a detailed instruction manual but rather a concise overview of how an advanced engine build can be executed.

Ensuring the correct piston ring end gap is crucial to prevent potential engine damage. Although new rings are typically within specifications, it is prudent to verify their measurements.
