@MrSled nailed it. Center piston had upside down rings
Oops. i blame the assembly beers. Other pistons fine.
Nothing seems to be catastrophic in there. Never pinned it super hard. Obligatory pictures / video of everything now that it's disassembled / partially cleaned. Obviously new rings are in order but open to whether y'all think i need to go get the cylinders honed. I'd put a new piton kit in too I guess if the consensus is it's the right thing to do.
This will really only be a trail-duty sled and it's 25y/o but it is the nicer of the two and I'd like it to last for a good long service life of ski access. It got all new bearings everywhere and a new track etc. Does not need to be a race face machine; it just needs to not explode 25mi up the forest service road, basically.
