Default Exhaust port damage

I took some pictures of the cylinder today. I can not feel any damages on the bore with my nail, except for one horizontal line. However it is not deep at all, could barely feel it.
However, my exhaust port as you can see in the first image has a damage. How bad is that? Should that get nicasil replated, or is it okey, or?

Ohh! Its cracked at the bottom of the bridge. Yes you must send it to be welded an replated. Most decent plating companies offer this sort of repair. Think US Chrome and Millennium if they are still what they were. Assuming you are in US. There are other reputable places.

It is not the end of the world but you will also need a new piston kit.

Ah well. Thats not so fun. Either way. I will be sending both my cylinders (i got 2 gasgas now) for replating and welding.
I found a company in Sweden that does the job and gives me a kit (piston, ring, bearing, etc) for only 4300 SEK (400USD).
Also, I wasnt the smartest and didnt replace my bearings inside the engine even though they had metal shavings in them, so I will be opening it again and replacing them.
Also, one question. I want to wash the engine components when it is in pieces. Can I wash it or will I damage stuff? My dad told me we should wash it with diesel fuel so im asking you guys if thats a good thing to do or if we should avoid it or use another liquid.
Also is it bad to use water to wash? Is there anything I can't wash? Like the crank or the clutch plates?

Thanks guys

Ahh sorry didn't realise you were from Sweden. That seems so cool to me. Total other side of the globe from my islands in South Pacific.

Good luck. Save up and be respectful to your father if he is paying for this. We try hard to be the right parent. But no-one gave is a manual of how to do this.

Well said F5!

You can use Diesel, but low odor mineral spirits is probably a better choice. I have used mineral spirits to clean everything inside the engine without issues.

Using a soap/degreaser and warm water will clean the parts just fine, but then you need to fully remove the water and re oil the parts so they do not rust.

Okey. Then I will use low oder mineral spirits. And assuming the crank and clutch plates won't get damaged by it either.
Yes I agree F5. And don't worry, he won't be dissapointed. Im doing a street legal supermoto with this gasgas. Here in Sweden, they are worth around 6k-9k usd!

Low odor mineral spirits will not stink up your home and garage as much as diesel.

I got carried away and forgot to say kerosene is what I use, or some call it paraffin.
