Yes, the market-price of metal is not too bad at the moment!   :-D :-D :-D

Hi!

I just got my cylinder back from the re-plating.
The surface looks very rough:

I?m wondering if they just honed it without re-plating, but i also heard worn coatings have a look of shiny yellow?
Would you say that cylinder looks re-plated?
(Unfortunately i don?t have measurement values...)

Goat:
Cylinder looks fine. The cross hatch is supposed to be there. It holds oil for lubricating the piston and rings. Put in a new piston & rings and try it out.

Looks like new plating to me. Are the gouges/scratches still there on the intake side close to the top of the cylinder? http://img814.imageshack.us/i/38083025.jpg/

tschisi:
No they aren?t:

I?ll put the old piston with new rings in for testing.
Would you say a compression test after the assembly, when the parts are lubricated with the 2-stroke oil, is meaningful?
Or would the compression be always good because of the thick oil?
