What is the main advantage of the nickel silicon carbide (NSC) bore?

The NSC electroplate bore allows for tighter tolerances, which leads to lower friction during piston movement. This design also contributes to the extreme durability of the cylinder.

Does this kit include everything needed to replace the cylinder?

Yes, this kit includes the Cylinder Works cast aluminum cylinder, a Vertex piston, and all the necessary gaskets to restore your engine's performance.

What is the importance of the diamond honing on the cylinder bore?

The precision diamond honing ensures the cylinder is machined to exact dimensions with the proper surface finish. This is critical for achieving a good seal with the piston rings and for proper oil retention within the cylinder.

About this part

Product Details

This is the Cylinder Works standard bore cylinder kit for your 07-08 Honda CRF 450 R. It's designed to get your engine back to its original horsepower and performance levels. If your cylinder has seen better days, maybe from wear or a scoring incident, this kit is a solid way to rebuild the heart of your bike without breaking the bank compared to buying all the parts separately from the dealer.

Inside this kit, you'll find a cast aluminum cylinder from Cylinder Works, a Vertex piston, and all the necessary gaskets to complete the job. The cylinder itself features a nickel silicon carbide (NSC) electroplate bore. This advanced plating allows for very tight tolerances, which means less friction as the piston moves up and down. That lower friction not only helps with performance but also contributes to the extreme durability of the cylinder. Plus, it's precision diamond honed to exact dimensions and the right surface finish. This careful honing is crucial for ensuring your piston rings seal properly against the cylinder wall, which is key for good compression and keeping oil where it belongs.

When you're putting this kit back into your CRF 450 R, make sure to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully. Proper break-in procedures after installation are also important to ensure the new piston rings seat correctly against the cylinder walls for optimal performance and longevity.
