    i pulled the exhaust off and blew compressed air through it and shined a light down it and it looks fairly clean. i took the cylinder off and the piston looks good but a little bit of blowbye and i noticed the crank was had a little up and down play.

    Up and down is no good.
    I'd do a compression test now.
    Maybe ask "old polaris tech" at atvconnection
