New to the forum so forgive me if this is not the right place to ask. I have a TRX300FW that has been leaking oil from the head, BAD. So I pulled it apart only to discover the previous abuser had stripped most of the head bolts where they run into the cylinder. They are trashed, so I need a new cylinder. I bought a NOS cylinder off EBAY, still in the factory coating. Everything lined up beautiful, only AFTER I put the new piston in place and mounted the cylinder over the piston I notice it says 246 cc on the side not 281 cc like my original. I am guessing I have been sold a 1986 TRX250 cylinder and not a TRX300 cylinder, but the bore is the same, the standard 74 mm, and everything else looks the same. What is the difference? And would I be OK just going ahead and using the 250 cylinder? Loosing a touch of power is not an issue. This thing just hauls me two miles deep in the woods to my treestand.

1988 TRX300, 1993 TRX300, 199? TRX300FW
