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...
