I took the exhaust pipe off of my cr80 this morning to take a peek at the piston. Here is what I found. There is zero blow by. But, what worries me is that there are one or two very very smal. black lines running up and down on the exhaust side, below the ring. The biggest one is about 1/2 inch long and very very thin. Otherwise, the piston is spotless. Next up, is that the other side of my cylinder (remember, I am looking through the exhaust port with a flashlight). The other side of the cylinder is very shiny, right opposite the exhaust port. It gets a little bit darker on either side of the shinyness, but I can still see the crosshatch everywhere on the cylinder.
This is a 2002 cr80, i've had it about 6months and it is on the origingal piston and rings. I dont know if that is anything to worry about, but this is my baby... and you know how... papa can get a little bit worried! :eek:
