Well, I have found another couple reasons I do like maintaining 50's.... Those KTM piston pin circlips are bastards. Even if I do one more top end, as much as I hate to say I am willing to pat with the $50 to buy one, but I am getting the circlip tool they have out there. Even if using the tool is 1/2 as easy as the vids show, I'll be head of the game...
Second, I need that Deck and Timing Tool. Anyone know where I might be able to get one in short order? I would have had the bike back together last night if I didn't need this nonesense. Sure, I could've just put all 3 gaskets on there or did some squish test dealio with a piece of solder, but I've taken shortcuts here before and this tool seems to be the easiest way to make sure I do not blow a brand new top end...
I am in Heath, Ohio and called both Wheelsports and Iron Pony with no luck. Figured I'd give this a shot as well. https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/tusk-deck-and-timing-tool-p?v=8661
