well i went a really long time without riding my EX and i let my good ol' cousin ride it and they opened it up on the highway and came back to my house on foot . the EX locked up and when i tore it down the piston had a smack peice missing and so does the sleeve . i get my new sleeve , piston ,gaskets ,rings , clips , etc.. (all oem) back tommorow and im sending the piston,sleeve and cylinder to the machine shop to be resleeve once i get them back i will install the piston , cylinder , top end and what not. i have used contact cleaner and carb cleaner and multiple times clean the head and everything and flushed the bottem end free of any metal particles (it seems to me if i took what metal was missing from piston and sleeve and rings i've possessed and just awwed over ) am i ready to fire up once rebuild is finished ? any suggestions greatly needed . im no engine expert but i can figure things out mostly . tks josh
