Now that you have it apart did you check the end gap of the rings? Take the rings off the pistons then slide the rings back in the boar, push them down about half way of there travel. Use the piston to make sure the rings are square with the bore. If they are worn you will have a big gap. Somebody on our site here will know the proper spacing. These motors rarely need rings but if that space is wide you will have an idea about wear.
