Re: 02 STX-R No Compression on Cyl 2 - Options?
ok, I removed the cylinder and the news isn't good.:emoticonb The piston skirt has a hole and it appears that debris has made it into the crankcase. I even found a piece of piston ring in one of the reed valves. There are some metal shavings stuck to the bottom of the rod. (see pictures) Does this mean that I need a new engine or can the crankcase/crank be cleaned and a new cylinder/piston/head installed?
Thanks,
