Just ordered a window mod piston, cometic gaskets and V2 reed block from stewart today. So I pulled my top end apart and the top of the piston looked almost new, just a little carbon. Now for the cylinder pics. Tell me what you think, please.
stewart:

martinfan30:
Below the exhaust port, there are some very, very tiny little pits. Around the top of the two smaller intake ports, there is a very small section where I see bare alu.
KXcam22:
As long as there is no flaking at the port edges and no deep scratches it should be good. It's hard to tell from your pics, need a bit more focus or a macro setting. You will be very happy with the windowed piston with the V2. Cam.
*** we posted at the same time. You might want to take some good pics of ths spots you are in question and re-post them.

I can feel some extremely light scratches on the bore below the exhaust port. No bare alu. anywhere on the bore.
I'm unsure of my camera. I'll take a couple piston pics.
