[savage sausage]

a couple of months ago i went for a ride on my bike and it started to make a funny screeching noise so I pulled up and wheeled it home.

I thought it was the cylinder seizing as when I took the exhaust off i thought i could see scoring on the piston, so I whipped the cylinder off to find that there was an itsy bitsy bit of scoring so i decided to send it to langcourt and have it re plated and fit my new wiseco piston.

come to take out the old piston and the conrod is slopping around like a ho's kebab.

so after spending a couple of hundred quid on a fresh top end, now I find out it needs an engine rebuild, which judging by the cost of it aint gonna be happening anytime soon.
