Is this head/cylinder toast? (04 yz125)


Recommended Posts

This is my first 2 stroke engine tear down in over 10 years.  

Are these headed for the recycle bin or can these be refurbished? 

 

Athena cylinder... can they be sleeved?

OEM head as far as I can tell.  

I'm looking for the cheapest fixes.  I found a couple of heads on ebay for ~$60 - $90.  Decent cylinders are not so cheap.

-thanks, your advice is appreciated.

Yeah the skirts on the cylinder that have broken off would be difficult if not impossible to replace/ repair unless a sleeve came with them which they might. And by the time you welded and recut the head you would be spending more than buying a used piece off of ebay. I vote used head off ebay and a new jug.

Thanks for the input. 

 

I just bought a used motor on ebay for $500.  I'll piece out my motor and get some $$ back.  That comes out cheaper than trying to just buy the parts I need.  The rod snapped and broke both cases and destroyed the cylinder and reeds.
