Thanks Dan

Thanks Dan, Good advise. Will be showing the owner your post! Sometimes they just need a 2nd opinion.

Thanks! Great advise! If it was my sled it would be done right. Will be showing the owner your post!

A manual would be nice. Not my machine. I do alot of work on older sleds. Just trying to cheap out for buddie that paid to much for a piece of crap sled. This thing has never been serviced. From the looks of it its got alot of re-calls. So, is the only option a new cyl.?

Didnt want to put alot of $ into it. Cyl with scratches has good comp. Do I leave it alone? put on new rings anyway? Pic's didnt come out. Sorry. I can feel them but there way low in cyl and dont seem to be afecting comp. Is it ok to do just 1 piston? Thanks

Not familiar with crome cyls. Have low comp on 1 side, pulled head. 1 piston has a nitch starting facing x port. Walls are fine. Seems like rings are sticky. Other side with 125 psi, has some small scratches in the bore down low. Will put in new piston & rings on bad side...

Hey Danbot, Have an 05 fusion, wont reverse, but low comp 1 cyl. Popped head off to look and have a small nitch burnt in top of 1 piston. Rings seen to be sticky. Cyl looks ok. Other cyl has very lite scratching but 125 comp. Question 1 is, can I hone out the scratch and replace rings? Reuse...
