[QUOTE="k2sno070, post: 393531, member: 3872"] Thanks for the info Pappy.. the rings and pistons were my original concern. I will get some pictures of the exhaust and skirts as soon as possible. I've been slowly working at getting the flywheel off for the last week (one or two turns at a time, not to force it too quickly). Once that is off I'll probably just remove the entire power head. I don't have the appropriate tools to diagnose significant wear to the cylinders or decide if I need to have them bored. I may just have to suck it up and go to a machine shop. Obviously I've been trying to avoid this because I'm on a pretty tight budget, but I want to make sure I do right by this engine. I've heard nothing but good things about these motors and would love to see this one continue to perform. [/QUOTE]
