    Should be anywhere from 150-190 but as long as your 100+ it should run .

    Compression was 45lbs so definitely needs a rebuild. Who sells a top end kit

    You can find a piston and rings on either this site or eBay. You’ll need to decide if you want to go hi Performnce with the piston or just a basic over bore. Going big ( high compression) will sip into the pocket book a bit because you will then want a performance cam, bigger carb and ported head. Decide what route you want to go and then start pricing your options

    Before you dive into the top end, check your valve clearances to make sure that the valves are closing all the way.
