how do you know when the piston and sleve are worn?? is it when you are able to push the piston thru the sleve?? Cause I can with mine!!!
 
I dont know exactly but if the U remove the header and look U will see the piston now turn the flywheel a few times and U will see it move up and down but U should also hear a slight pop sound that means their is compression if U dont hear it the it is probly worn.
 
If u can push the piston through the sleeve, its dead. GO on eBay look up OSRocket, for $12 u can have the piston and sleeve resized and its just like new. also, if u can turn the flywheel with ur pinky, its dead.

later
 
yes osrocket is the place to go!!!! I have just broken in my motor and it screams. runs cooler and it is fast as h@#l
