Well if it can get screwed up it happens to me. I just had my cylinder board and head and top of cylinder cut flush got everything back everything was great. I got a tap to tap the treads for the head studs in the top of the cylinder and I screwed in the studs by hand no tools used yet. But had a b day party for my kids Saturday and today I noticed one stud had been taken out of the cylinder and I noticed some tool marks to the cylinder top seface today. It looks like some one took pliers to take the bolt out and the pliers must have been flush on the top of the cylinder and left some teeth marks they are near the stud so basicaly in the middle of the cylinder flat on top my pics won't down load so i can't show pics this is the best I can describe it. Let me know if I have to do anything or if it should seal up and be ok. Thanks

do you have anything for a flat plate? scrap pieces of granite or heavy glass works good with a piece of wet sand paper.
A little spray tack on the paper helps hold it in place

take the cylinder and sand it with water, you can do fiquire 8 and back and fort but turning a little with each stroke,

When done just dry and oil the cylinder fairly quick after done to keep the bore from rusting

I would not send that back its not bad especially where that is located.
Run it, if gives you problems then send it back but I would bet it will run just fine.

I agree with Dave ^^ That's not bad at all. Get a fish hook sharpening stone, with some WD-40. Good to go! :eagerness:

I know what you ment you can see the gouge on the outside of the stud hole area and another small one near the liner, you will be fine with both.

I have heard worse. Another member said his son used regular gas one day to fill the tank on the race bike. Thats how you ruin an expensive motor. You can never be to cautious when it comes to working on motors. Their your kids and you still love them.

PS thats why I cut copper o-rings for the 350 cylinders
