How hard is it to put a new piston in a 455 Rancher? My friends saw burnt a piston, the cylinder looks like I can hone it out, just looking thru the spark plug hole. The saw is 5 years old so he doesn't want to spend to much money on it. I never took one apart before, it doesn't look like it should be too bad. Any suggestions before I tear into it? btw he thinks he screwed up on the oil mixture. The spark plug has aluminum on it and I can see where a hole was starting to burn through the piston.
