MOTM - Apr '14
got the jugs off, with my calipers the cylinders measure very tight to spec i am rather impressed. The cylinders themselves look really good even the skirts look good. The pistons don't look bad, the rings definitely had some blow by but nothing too crazy.
Wiggling the crank rod and looking at it and it feels pretty tight, i can't feel any atypical looseness. Regardless i need to split the case to look at all seals and gears ect... splitting the case is pretty easy as it's seam is horizontal as opposed to vertical.

So the good news, cylinders just need a hone and will take new pistons and rings. Crank seems solid. Still need to figure out what route i will go from here. Top end rebuild $250 give or take or i could sell my OEM cylinders put that and the $250 towards a big bore kit that comes with cylinders... only draw back is i would lose the powervalves. Need to do some figuring, i got time though.
