Naslov: Tomos t3p cilibri aluminum cylinder
Autor: Ikke - Rujan 22, 2023, 23:24:24
Hello Tomos riders.  First of all I would like to apologize for posting this in English.  I am from Belgium and I have been reading this forum for a while with a translator. because I would like to learn more about my moped.

I hope one of you could help me. I own an old Tomos t3p colibri from the 1960s. I want to repair this moped and I have discovered that it has a special aluminum cylinder. The Puch and Tomos models delivered here in the 60's always have a cast iron cylinder, which makes this moped quite unique in my collection. My question is whether I need special piston rings in this cylinder?

it looks to me like the cylinder has a special casting? I don't know whether it has a chrome layer or not? The piston rings have a little wear and I want to replace them.  but I'm not sure if hardened steel rings are allowed in here.
or if I need a special type ring for aluminum cilinder.

Thank you for your advice.

Hi, yes its chrome not nicasil, I have one in excellent condition if you need…rings wise yes you need rings that are softer so no chrome plated rings as this would result in total disaster.

Thank you very much for your response, I put steel rings in it and the engine runs fine again.  I sent you a private message.
