Hello all,
Just looking for some experience here with these cylinders. I tried to buy a Hyway kit for a 350 I'm building from weedeaterman but he couldn't get one so I ended up getting one off ebay. I got the kit today and opened it up to check it out. All the outside casting looks great for an AM kit and things were looking good until I took the piston out of the jug and started checking the cylinder walls. I can see one 1/8 inch long groove and one 1/16 inch groove ground in the cylinder wall from where they ground the bevels into the transfers and the intake/exhaust ports. There are also about a half dozen pencil lead sized "pits" in the cylinder wall above the ports and another half dozen pin sized "pits". There are also a few more below the ports.
Is this normal for these Hyway kits? I would hope not. Should I run it or return it? I notifed the seller but have yet to hear back as I just sent the message.
Thanks
