Going good so far.
Removed the top end tonight. Inside of the cylinder looks great, I can see the cross-hatch marks, and no dings or strange marks of any sort.
Big-end bearing looks and feels good, has some side to side movement but no play when I move the crank up and down.
Going to BeaverCreek Cycle tomorrow in Lisbon, Ohio to pick up my new piston, rings, gaskets, etc. I am taking the cylinder with me as asked by the shop owner
Hopefully tomorrow night I will get to drop the new heart in, bolt it back up, add coolant, etc.
Now as far as the break-in procedure goes, does anyone have any recommendations?
Look forward to riding all day on Saturday
