So im thinking Ill just buy a new block from CSC for 44.50 and a piston and rings for 12.50

My question is I just wanted to make sure that this block will work on the hawk 250 motor?
Thanks! |
What do you mean by the cylinder wall is marked up? If it sat for a while with dirty oil in it, the cylinder often gets stain marks where the piston comes to rest. 638 kilometers (bikes odometer reads in kilometers) is not even broken in, really. Cheaters break in new rings by starting the engine and feeding a pinch of Bon-Ami through the carb and then ride it for a short time, immediatly changing the oil when getting home. That's known as a FWIW....ARH
