How To Overhaul An IAME X30 Engine 

Thank you

Hello, use a good rubber grease.

Yes you have to measure the piston you are putting in and the bore with a bore dial gauge. Keep the clearance at 0.12 between the piston and the bore. Upper and the lower diameter difference is too high. Keep it less than 0.005

Thanks for the response!@@lifewithus7198

Keep the clearance between the piston and the bore 0.12 weather its a R or V piston

We use a adjustable six stone hone for boring and honing, but you can use a flexible shaft type hone or a ball hone.

@@lifewithus7198 what hone do you recommend for a IAME KA100 for doing a top end rebuild?

@@WheresmywingsRedBull First have a look and measure the cylinder and the new piston you are puting in, if the cylinder is in good nick and the clearance is good, just use a cheap flexible or ball hone to hone it up. If you have to bore it up further, you can use a flexible shaft hone or you can use more rigid hone. But rigid hones are bit expensive. We use both rigid and flexible hones for boring.

@@lifewithus7198 ok thanks, also what would be the ideal clearance?

@@WheresmywingsRedBull Stick to the overhaul manual on that. If you want the overhaul manual just click on the link. iameusaeast.com/pages/technical#ka100
