Clean things up more before you pull the cyl.

To do seals you'll need a flywheel puller ( ~$15-20) and piston stop (piece of rope), to remove clutch and flywheel. Many ways to pull the seals but don't damage the crank or case surfaces. My dealer will pull/install seals for a $15-20 if you bring in a clean saw with flywheel and clutch off. Seals come with the gasket set so just do them. You will want to clean up underneath the flywheel and clutch anyway. Might need a hose kit for the oil pump.

If piston/cyl look O.K. just get a quality set of rings. Check piston/cyl clearance first even if it looks good. If cyl is bad upgrade to 034S/036.

Exhaust side looks a little rich (black) clean all that carbon out when it is apart .
This piston looks to be in great shape...I'm sticking with it and...not attempt the 036 upgrade.
Going to pressure/vacuum test it sometime this week.
