Looks like the spring popped off the shift drum.

The spring popped off the scorpion plate when I was futzing with the shifter, with the inside cover off. The problem is in the transmission somewhere. The bottom and top end cycle through fine after the clutch pack was removed, but the shifter and counter shaft are locked up tight.

You're most of the way there. Keep track of which screws go in which holes when you split the cases and tap but do not pry them if needed to split.

Cylinder not looking so good. Probably due to an airboot fitment issue I was having. Can the cylinder be re-plated as is, or am I better off replacing it?

All that is left is to pull the jug, pull the motor out of the frame, and open the cases to see what is going on with the transmission.

you can replate the cylinder.

I don't see any issues with the plating; ie: no flaking or peeling. I see little dots, are those pinholes? I still see crosshatching, which means (to me) that it's still in decent shape. What issues are you seeing in person?

If you need to replate, other options to Powerseal are Langcourt (I had great experience, as have others), Millenium Technologies (not so great experience, as have others). and USChrome (no feedback, but have heard their name often enough).

The vertical striations are what concern me. They fill rough when I run my finger nail over them. I do not see any flaking, peeling, or pinholes. I could probably throw the new piston and rings and run it without issue....but I would rather be safe than sorry.
