Message: [QUOTE="griffbones, post: 1189026, member: 72285"] No, I wasn't but I really think the cylinder was too far gone to try and re-use it with out first having it repaired. I got in a hurry to get the bike going and shouldn't have even stuck a piston back in it. I did clean it up and it looked pretty good, but I now think not good enough. Also I did not remove the engine and check to see if I could flush any debris out of the crankshaft cavity, I thought it looked pretty clean, but maybe I just sand blasted the new piston with crap from the first episode? I have been riding and working on these bikes for a long time and I really should have known better, I guess I broke some of my own rules and paid the price, but never again! [/QUOTE]
