Well I honed it out a bit. Smoothed the cylinder up nicely, still some pitting but i was afraid of taking to much off. My rings are wrong, flat ends no notches so the end gap is huge, talking over 30 thou. But I slapped it back together and put a tester on it and it bumped it up to 65psi. to me that seems like a decent improvement from 50psi. I’m gonna try tomorrow to start it and see if i even get it to fire. If it does i’ll be ordering the proper rings this time hopefully. If it doesn’t fire well i don’t know, i don’t want to toss a lot of cash into this with no guarantee it run again.
The pictures make the rust and pitting seem worse then when i look at it in person. Seems to really stand out in the photo.
