Does anyone know if the .049 piston and cylinder will fit in the .051? I've heard they can fit? That is .049 fit the .051 tee dee?
Thanks!

They swap straight across but you must swap the cylinder AND the piston.

The .049 and the .051 Tee Dee use the same crankcase. The only difference would be the piston and cylinder configuration. As mentioned above, the .051 piston is not for use in the .049 cylinder.

A piston and cylinder must be dimenionally a matched set and not intermixed.

Darren:

FYI

The difference between a TD .049 and TD .051 is only .002" thus placing them in two different classifications 1/2A and A for competition purposes according the AMA rules.

There are quite a few different engine pairs that do this, from several manufacturers, since it allows the same model to compete in 2 classes with an engine swap. The performance between the adjacent sizes in theory should be identical, in practice it is extremely similar or it wouldn't be a working idea.

And to take it a step farher the TD .051 piston has two horizontal grooves that allows contest judges to make the displacement determination.

Yep, and if you look at an .051 piston out of the cylinder there are TWO indentifying grooves.

Seeing I have never seen a 2 groove cox piston, got a picture?

What is the single groove indicate if it isn't .051?

My ten .051 pistons all have only one groove...

I have seen photos of two groves but have never touched one

Fred:

TD .049's don't have piston grooves and SOME, but not all, TD .051's have one OR two grooves. The only TD .051 that I've disassembled that far had two.

Why? I have not a clue but Cox was known for running production variations. Regardless ANY groove was put there to identify .051's from .049 TD's on these engines.

In my collection the only .051s with two rings are Killer Bee .051s, all NIB.

Post  fredvon4 Mon May 13, 2013 7:40 am

Sorry to not be clear in my post. I was just stating the fact that I have a few .051s with only one groove on the piston skirt. I know there are variants out there with two grooves also indicating a .051 piston.

Side note: Because new .051 piston and cylinder sets are hard to acquire, I have had some success with fitting a well worn .051 piston into a new, but sloppy with a .049 piston, TD cylinder using Ken Cook's lapping process...since the lapping reduces the piston and cylinder I assume I have a set that is more than .049 and less than .051...grin
