I am stripping the RG engine because it has swallowed some gravel and also coz it's lighter to lift out when dismantled!
Cylinders 1 & 3 are the worrying ones, loads of shit everywhere, some impacts in the cylinder heads and loads of dust in the transfer ports.
Surprisingly the cylinders are undamaged, the pustons are showing some impacts but after a session with the emery cloth they are not too bad. The worst is that one of the ring grooves has slightly squashed gripping the ring.
The general consensus on the RG list is that I can file some metal off to release the high pounts in the groove - so I am going to try it.
