I'm trying to talk myself into rebuilding this thing with new seals and hot rodding it out. It already has a brand new oem piston and super mild grinding to remove casting and correct cylinder sleeve misalignment. It appeares to have a plated aluminum sleeve bonded into place which was off by 1/16th inch at the upper transfers. image.jpeg

I know where your coming from. I have a bottom end to split on a Arctic cat 500 4x4. It's definitely not a small job.

I wasn't insinuating that it would look different; that's just a nice saw.

I hope the one I spoke for is close to that nice: knowing the Dutchman, it is.
It has the earliest cylinder cast which isn't the improved one so it needs a little catching up. I would like to get my hands on a 655bp cylinder.

I need someone to fix the transmission in my 4 wheeler.

It's not a job I wanna tackle.
I'd do it if you weren't so damn far away. I actually enjoy repairing transmissions. It's all the other crap that you have to tear off that's a PITA.

I'm surprised it needed rings, it doesn't even look used!
Great looks saw!
it was a running saw.. but when i took the muffler off one of the piston and rings were badly scored. once pulled down the other piston had a little scoring also but still ok. so cleaned up the jugs a good 2nd hand piston set of rings all round and 3 AV's rim drum, bar and chain was all that was needed.. oh and a good clean .. she was caked bad under the covers.
fired her up this morning and ran like a dream :D and with a muffler mod has a little crackle and attitude now:pesas:
