I bought this about 8 months ago and when we went to the dunes it locked up when we got ot off the trailer. I finally decided to fix it. The piston broke the front of the skirt off. It is kinda hard to tell from the pictures. I split the case and removed the chunks and everything looks fine. I don't think the engine was ever apart. It was very clean inside.Cheapest route would be stock size piston and simple drill hone to crosshatch the cylinder. I just want to go to the dunes so I should not get carried away with magazine fever.

I've heard it's a good idea to replace crank bearings and seals while you got it apart...
