I have thought about it. The stuff below the port doesn't bother me as much as what is starting at the top of the portSome may say to run that with a little cleanup. I honestly would consider it.
Seems like bad news. Finally got back to this thing. Looks like the carbon build up was because the plating was falling off. Take it this cylinder is now a paperweight. Not going to try the replaying route... opinions?

That old cylinder may be food for porting depending on the numbers, just a thought.
Yeah, I am hanging on to the cylinder for sure. Maybe some day I will have the time/disposable income to see what @srcarr52 can do with it....
That jug is probably junk. From my experience when the chrome is that worn it will have a step worn in from the rings at the top so you can't drop the jug at all without knocking the ring lands out of the piston.
I recently rebuilt a 298 with OEM seals off of eBay, price wasn’t too bad.Anyone have any thoughts on aftermarket seals? OEM seals are 13 bucks each from my dealer, but I am about to place an order at HL supply and they have a pack of 2 for a buck...

Having shipped and received stuff from Canada I agree .I think the pony express might have been faster .Most of the stuff is still available from the dealer, and Ebay is a different game up here in Canada, shipping on most thing kills us
There’s a guy that knew how to make a saw run. Too bad he got out of the public eye.Having shipped and received stuff from Canada I agree .I think the pony express might have been faster .
Some time ago I shipped a bunch of lathe tooling to B Wright AKA Timber Wolf on the net .It was only maybe 250 miles but it took two weeks to get there .It takes 4 days from Ohio to Australia and three to Oregon for heavens sake .
