The rings are intact but have lots of vertical scores on the exhaust side. They might be pinched in the ring grooves also. That same side of the piston has lots of scoring on the aluminum. Pin retainers and pin are all there, they didnt get loose. Piston pin bearings on top are smooth with no up and down slop. Piston crank bearing has no slop in the rod direction, also feels smooth like needles are good. Bottom end bearings also feel smooth without play / slop at the flywheel or sprocket side. Still waiting on the post office to deliver flywheel puller so I have not removed seals yet. Looked real good inside case and see no evidence if metal trash. Sent a small magnet in and it came up clean.
