The piston in 264 is the one on the left. It has the least amount of dome. The one going in is the one in the middle.
You will learn...quickly, too, I reckon. Those are all good numbers. I suspect that you'll see much higher peak temps, especially with the oil and that spot where you got 260F, once you start leaning into this tight engine for some miles and in higher ambient air temps. (As long as oil temp remains below ~115C/240F and cylinder/head temp remains below ~300F you should be fine. Just remember that some parts of the head, like near the exhaust port will get a lot hotter.) First thing they'll tell you is when to let the engine cool down. Next will be the break-in status. As the miles roll on, frictional heating will decrease. After the engine is broken-in, you probably won't have to check any temps other than oil...unless you suspect something. I usually shoot temps on my main rider a couple of times per year... preventive curiosity. It also lets me see how the oil cooler is working; there's never been more than~2-3C variation between the hottest & coolest points. For example, a sudden 20C+ temp spread would indicate uneven oil flow.I don’t know squat about heat and the information it provides. I have an IR thermometer. I went on the longest ride so far on this build. Probably 10 miles max. It was close to 70 deg. The ride lasted 20 minutes. Neighborhood and secondary roads. When I got back the dipstick thermometer read 195F I shot the head and it read 160, the cyl on the left read 260, the head pipe read 200. What does this tell me and are they about expected? BTW, I cant Believe the torque difference. It will pull the front wheel in 3rd. Quite a difference from the 108cc
There was a couple of times I didn't, but otherwise thats what I did to my HK1. It runs great. After around 800miles or so, check the points, Tchain, and A/F. Mine liked a little massaging. Every little bit counts and tuned it by ear. Cruises 40-45....no problemI've recently become a believer in the easy break-in :--)
out on the street...power to spare. Maybe you'll have a whole new appreciation for riding your CT70 this season.
