I burnt a hole in the mag side piston toward the end of this season and I needed a quick fix. I bought a new top end and cleaned up the cylinders as best as I could and ran it til the snow melted. It ran great but the condition of the cyl. is on my mind.
There was a small gouge below the exhaust port that I smoothed out real well. I figured that as long as it was small and no sharp edges to catch a ring it could make it a few more rides.
It ran well, and I'm wondering if I should tear it down or let it go. I wish I had taken a pic to show, but it is below the exhaust port and about the size of a thumb tack.
My next question is are the cyl. sleeved or can it be bored? As I cleaned out the gouge, it seemed to be soft metal unlike a sleeve. Who does this type of cyl. work and what's it cost?
It's a 99 rmk 700 136"
