i am just getting around to replacing the top end on my 95 200 i have had for about 6 months. thing runs great but the guy i bought it from said he had not done a top end on it since he had had it. (about 3 years)
anyway, when i took the cylinder off and took a look around i noticed a gray sealant where the cases meet. does this mean the cases have been split at some point or did they come like this from the factory? i don't know if i need to try to clean it out or just leave it there. it doesn't appear to be harming anything.
i tell you, i am really impressed with this thing. it appears to be in great shape - no problems with the cylinder and very light carbonization on the kips. rings and piston look great too. after at least 4 years with no new top. wow!!
