I've been collecting parts to put together some 50's for about 3 years. I took this one completely down, new bearings, seals, 246 Golf piston, Partner 5000 Plus closed port cylinder, 51 carb set up, and 55 top cover. Had to file a rib on the top cover that was hitting the cylinder. I eliminated the base gasket and the squish was still .045, I was surprised and a bit worried it wouldn't pump enough compression. Got it running tonight and I am pleasantly surprised, it's already starting to wake up. Warm compression is 150. Tried the zip tie trick on the piston ring and I was ticked. Don't use premium quality zip ties, get the cheap ones with a smooth back and then it works slick.
