took my cylinders off today and found that they are junk.
Check for pictures here:http://www.72guzzi.2ya.com/
The coating is damaged down to the metal below on one cylinder. Both
pistons are also in bad shape. Guess it is time for new parts.. I was
hoping I would not have to spend another $600.00 (MG-Cycle) for the top
end of the motor
Hey Gunner, Yeah, I know that it kind of sucks to spend all that money...but
the cylinder/piston/ring kit from MG is really sweet!! You'll forget the price
in a month or so. I researched boring the old cylinders, finding appropriate
pistons, different kits, and all that crap....really glad that in the end I
called Rick and Gordon. FYI, Brett in Indy...with one smooth Dreamcycle (72 Ambo)
