well just got back from the shop and they tried to hone it out but the cylinder was to pitted. i figured screw it, there gunna bore it out and get a new piston and what not. the rings were frozen in the grooves on the piston. more then i wanted to spend but id rather do it right the first time instead of doing it later.

Dont go overboard on the bore job. I bored a 200 ytm out .040 a few yrs ago and it caused nothing but problems. It got really hot and ended up siezing the engine up 4 different times from excessive heat. Keep the bore minimal and you should be just fine. It didnt cost much for the rebuilt either.

yea there just goin .020 over. itll be about $200 or so when alls said and done. got the bike $25.

well i got the cylinder back and shes purdier than ever. then ended up having to go .040 over sincw the cylinder was so pitted. got a brand new wiseco piston and i dont even want to install it. it looks to good.
the only concern i have with the new piston is that its a flat top design vs. the stock one that was dished. do they do that do offset the material they remove to keep the same comp. ratio?
any tips on instaling this? never done one before. all i know is that the arrow faces the front.

ok. i think im done working on this thing for awhile. everything was going awesome. gaps were good, piston slid in nice and easy, everything went together beautifully. of course as my luck would have it something bad had to happen and through a wrench in the works. when i went to put the cam chain and gear together i noticed the chain was spinning freely, great i said to myself since i had to tear it back down and put the chain back on. do that and notice the smale oring that goes on the right rear head bolt between the cylinder and bottom end was smooshed. go to the store and get another one. start to put everything back together, its all looking good, then at the last possible second that stupid f'in oring fell into the motor. i tore it back down and cant see it so its down in there. what should i do? remove the motor and tip it over to try and get it out? say screw it and get another oring? or do i have to split the case to get the 
out. im so furious right now. i just wanted to get the thing running but i cant have anything easy, somethings always got to happen to screw me over. any tips on getting this oring out would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Get a flash light? Hold the motor upside down and shake and hope it falls out.....

I've done it before, I tipped it over, but my engine was already out.
Had a heck of a time, it was stuck in there, finally came out.

well I got it. It was a pain and I'm ready to toss the clymers manual in the trash. It made everything more difficult then it needed to be and half the stuff it said to do was useless. Now I just gotta get it all back together
