Here are some photos of the piston/sleeve.

As you can see, there is zero flash and filings.

Al, is the upper rod end bushed?

Can we get a peek at the crank, induction setup and inside of the case ?

...and thanks for everything you do for our hobby!!

Rod is bushed at both ends.

Notice that the crank is longer than a CMB, MAC or A/A 45 crank. The longer distance begtween bearinbgs provides a smoother rotation.

Also, the head buttons accept standard glow plugs.

Again, no flash or filings on the parts.

Hi Al, sometime this past year I stumbled upon a brand new K45, I should pick up some replacement parts from you, will all your new parts fit into the original K45 case? All except the crank which you say is longer than the original.

Thanks Al

The crank is the same as the original. All parts are the same except for the rotor assembly. The new rotor rides in a bushed housing, not on a bearing.

I have a good supply of K45 engines and parts on hand.
