[QUOTE="JohnWayne007, post: 214601, member: 3792"] So i recently purchased a blown up 2001 kx85 for next to nothing and i was told the top end blew. Tore it down and found that the connecting rod bearing blew so it was seized in the crank not in the cylinder, piston was still trashed since some metal flakes/bearing remenants got up in there. I ordered a full bottom end rebuild kit with crankshaft and a piston kit. But my main concern is the cylinder, it looks usable and i was excited until i seen this little knick in one of the reed ports, it is very tiny but my concern is if i use it as is i dont want my over $500 parts order go out the window due to a ring catching ect. I hope someone on here can tell me if this is a big issue or if it looks alright, thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
