Ok thanks for pointing that out, I sort of know what you mean now! Does that mean there will be a little water in the bottom end? The previous owner did mention he had put a new head gasket on, As he said there was a little coolant on top of the piston! But i guess that was coming from the crack!

Was obviously the reason he sold it

Yes i understand a 2 stroke smokes but not like how it did

Shouldn't i be worried though if and when it needs resleeving? Surley im better off with a brand new cylinder? As i think i'm gonna have problems later down the line, Right?

Top end rebuild time obviously?

Sorry for all the questions, Much appretiated
