rusky Posted April 1, 2010 I would just replace it to be safe. A blown up motor costs a lot more to rebuild than just a top end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cr85_supermini03 Posted April 2, 2010 the 100 bucks spent on a piston and ring kit is better then taking the risk and having the chance to wreck the cylinder and head just rebuild it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOOGER 746 Posted April 2, 2010 Replace the top end now and put a hour meter on it. Replace every 20 hrs and you are good to go !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
