    Boy, you have made a big investment in this thing….Hopefully you can resell that powerhead and rings….Maybe to me…
    In any event, pulling one of these powerheads apart is real watch maker work. Individual small needle bearings on each crank pin and the center main, and plenty of them… I really don’t think his powerhead needs rebuilding. You have had the exhaust cover and head off, there were no signs of stuck rings or scoring/scuffing…. Just rough up the cylinder walls with a little fine emery cloth…The owner is lucky to have such a devoted friend indeed…..
