Yes, you can do this, but this won't resolve the stretching problem.
Actually the tread is gone in the alumni cylinder, you can try a longer bolt, if you have enough room for this. You can buy a tread repair insert and fix the tread.

How to change piston on Jonway 50 cc 2012

Air cooled 50cc motors usually have 4 long bolts holding the head on, they go up through the 'jug' and through the head to bolts under a decorative cover or just out inthe open. remove nuts or entire bolts and then use a mallet to whack the 'jug' (cylinder) to break it free of the lower gasket, pull jug up and off piston, remove old piston by circlips or other retention and install new one. pinch rings and work jug back over piston, lower onto case gasket (if you didnt rip it removing it) and button back up. Check cylinder before replacing piston to make sure a new one will work. If the walls are scored, you will have to get it bored and use a +.25mm piston.

Installation
Note
t Only remove the new cylinder head gasket from its packing immediately before installing.
t Handle the new gasket with extreme care. Damaging will lead to leaks.
- Place a clean cloth in cylinders so that no dirt or emery cloth particles can get in between cylinder wall and piston.
- Also prevent dirt and emery cloth particles from getting into the coolant.
- Carefully clean cylinder head and cylinder block sealing surfaces. Thereby ensuring that no scoring or scratches are formed (when using abrasive paper the grade must not be less than 100).
- Carefully remove metal particles, emery remains and cloths.
- Set No. 1 cylinder piston to TDC and then turn crankshaft back slightly.
- To centralize, screw guide pins from 3450/1 into front outer holes for cylinder head bolts-flechas-.
- Place the new cylinder head gasket in the centralizing pins -A-. Lettering (Part No.) must be readable.
- Fit cylinder head, screw in 8 remaining cylinder head bolts and tighten by hand.
- Remove the guide pins with tool 3450 by the bolt holes. To do this, turn the tool left until the pins are removed.
- Fit remaining cylinder head bolts and tighten hand-tight.
- Tighten cylinder head in tightening sequence as follows:
- Tighten all bolts to 30 Nm.
- Then tighten all bolts a 1//4 turn (90 °) further using a rigid wrench.
- Then tighten all bolts again a 1/4 turn (90 °) further.
Note
There is no requirement to retighten the cylinder head bolts after repairs.
The rest of the assembly is basically a reverse of the dismantling sequence.
Note
When the camshaft is turned, the crankshaft must not be at TDC. Danger of damage to valves or piston crowns.

How do i get to the piston on a 2003 wr 250f

You need to remove the fuel tank and then the engine. You then remove the top head by removing the four bolts holding the head and cylinder jug on. slide the jug upwards off of the piston. To remove the piston you will need to separate your case

Need specs on changing head gaskets on a 1993 ford crown victoria

Assuming that you have already removed the heads and dealt with the clearance problems of the lower-rear head bolts on both banks (you have to remove and install the heads with the lowest-rear bolts in the head -- secured with something like rubber bands -- in order to get the clearance needed):

To install:

1. Rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise 45 degrees. The crankshaft keyway should be at the 9 o'clock position viewed from the front of the engine. This ensures that all pistons are below the top of the engine block deck face.
2. Rotate the camshaft to a stable position where the valves do not extend below the head face.
3. Position new head gaskets on the cylinder block. Install new bolts in the lower rear bolt holes on both cylinder heads and retain with rubber bands.

New cylinder head bolts must be used whenever the cylinder head is removed and reinstalled. The cylinder head bolts used on these engines are a torque-to-yield design and cannot be reused.

1. Position the cylinder heads on the cylinder block dowels, being careful not to scratch the surface of the head face. Apply clean oil to the new cylinder head bolts, remove the rubber bands from the lower rear bolts and install all bolts hand-tight.
2. Tighten the new cylinder head bolts as follows:
1. Torque the bolts in sequence, to 22-30 ft. lbs. (30-40 Nm).
2. Rotate each bolt in sequence 85-95 degrees.
3. Rotate each bolt in sequence an additional 85-95 degrees.
3. Position the heater return hose and install 2 retaining bolts.
4. Rotate the camshafts using the flats matched at the center of the camshaft until both are in time. Install suitable cam positioning tools, on the flats of the camshafts to keep them from rotating.
5. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise 45 degrees to position the crankshaft at TDC for No. 1 cylinder.


The torque pattern follows:

left bank:
8 9
4 5
2 1
6 3
10 7


right bank:
9 8
5 4
1 2
3 6
7 10
