hi what problems do you have with the cylinder? ie a score on the plating?

Where do you live?

Welcome....
What year?
Do you need a new top end?
Cylinder is plated (coated with nikasil) and if not worn/grooved/gouged through to the aluminum cylinder you can leave it alone and put the appropriate piston (stock) back in with matching ring.
How about some good/big pictures of the cylinder so we can take a look...
