The new cp pistons will be 9.5-1 compression
Will you test the engine with just the rod replacement? Just to test the new crank and piston ?

Look for the Black Rubber plugs in valve cover right side. If it has them its early.

Why use Yamaha rings on CP?

There has been less oil consumption with Yamaha rings then the aftermarket ones. I'm not saying CP have issues, but I did find JE and wiscoe using, Dave made some apex Pistons a couple years ago that used Yamaha rings and it worked really well
Got it. I just have always had really good luck with CP and their rings. Could always tell they were much harder than JE or Wiseco when filing the gaps bought a grinding wheel just for that reason. Files barely would touch them. No biggie though save some cash this way too.

yay i got a late 16! first yamaha i have owned and i already have a bad taste in my mouth, i emailed the guy from my dealer, first he has heard of an issue with installing a turbo on a 16, when i went into the dealer i wanted a new left over 15 ltx se they had in stock, he talked me into the 16 for near the same price as the 15.... and i asked if next season i want to have the turbo installed would it be possible and still maintain all my warrenty, he said yes, now what do i do? i guess i wait to hear a resolution from yamaha... i put 65 miles on my sled yesterday, very happy with it, do i need to worrie about this rod issue on a stock sled? my 2 buddys who talked me into going yamaha from skidoo have 15's and they just finnished there mpi turbo install, not going to enjoy seeing there snow flap all season lol
