Let me explain, I'm helping my buddy rebuild his 98 200 blaster(atv). now he got a whole top end rebuild kit, pulled the cyl out of the box and look at this.
Looks it's been nicked where the head and gasket seat.... Not good. So we need to fix this.
Seeing as it's air cooled, I'm thinking we can very gently knock the high part off with a mill file, then place the cyl on some 600grit wet sand paper on a sheet of glass until it's flat, then if there is any remaining divot, fill it with some jb weld(good to 600f), wet sand again, then put it together. Not pretty but, he got it cheap.
Thoughts???
