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

The crack in the intake area will not allow coolant to get into the engine.  A bad head gasket, a base gasket leaking around the water port near the exhaust port or bad head gasket surface is what usually allows coolant to get into the cylinder.  Sometimes  we find coolant inside of the exhaust port on heavily ported cylinders.
