This cylinder kit (and crank) any good?

[tzsteve]

I have heard of many using jbweld
and not heard of any problems

I guess its all a case of getting everything clean

Also whats the difference between this kit except the color and price? Any benefits choosing the more expensive one with blue top (puffo?)?

The blue top one is a centre plug head I think and is possibly more thematically better to dissipate heat from the head, main barrel looks identical from the picture, but without any further info on the kit then hard to day.

I think it is only the top that is different. Maybe worth the extra cost for not getting to much heat

its the centre plug head that you are paying for.
they can run a slightly higher compression ratio ( a little extra power )
a centre plug can be awkward to get at on the road side

I think there is two blue cylinder heads. One with the hole centered and one with the hole at side

Thanks a lot for your answer Steve!
I live in Sweden so need to use a local place for milling but I found a guy that will do it.
- Would JB weld work instead of welding? Guess I dont need to go that hard on the cases when having the packer
- You mentioned about removing a bit from the from the circular part of the case on the fly side.
Do you think I need to do that for the Parmakit challenger 130cc? Guess it does not matter if I remove it.
(Could be good to have it ready for a future upgrade)

I think the blue has aluminium cnc head and the other not,according to SIP : 

The ECV versions are delivered with a cheaper, cast cylinder head.
