KX Cylinder Scratched

[Badgadjit1]

I just pulled off my cylinder off my kx. I found a "Welding Service" that fixes scars and different types of cylinder damage. Wondering if this is a viable option, Since they offer this at 50 bucks and up. This is obviously my cheapest option. Just never heard of that before.

" WELDING REPAIRS
We repair damage like deep gouges from piston ring breakage, bearing explosions, detonation, broken bridges, smashed ports and cracked o-ring grooves. $50.00 + "

Or is this only for non-nikasil cylinders.


and


is my new cheapest option to have it bored and replated, becuase i know that having it resleeved is the most expensive. i'm not about to try and resleeve myself.

the bike has no compression which is what led me to pull off the cyl and discovered the cylinder wall..

Does anyone know if an 1989 KX 125 Cylinder would fit on a 1986 Case? Shot in the dark but its on e-bay, if it will it'll save me lots of $$

i recently was told that 87 and older kx 125 cylinders where not nickel plated....it was my understadning that they where. Is this true? and does it matter if it isn't? can i still bolt on the cyl and run it without problems?
