Polini Seize #1: Photos

I lucked out on this one. The cylinder wall is just a little scratched and
my ring was completely intact, as well as my piston. You can see some
cooked nikasil one the top end and on the piston head.






The ring caught on the exhaust port, which spread the ring open on top.
I sanded everything down and threw a new ring on. I also flipped my
2nd speed clutch for haha's. I'm getting much more low end torque now.
Still need to reset the timing on my CDI to see if I can improve my
throttle response and prevent any more seizes, etc.
