cylinder head removal

So when you run your finger around the inside of the cylinder on the walls or around the outside of the piston you don't feel scratches . That's good. Unfortunately all the pictures you posted showed the same view of the piston and the same angle of the cylinder. All the cylinder pics were looking at the intake port. None of the exhaust port . Same with the piston. All were looking towards the piston form the fly wheel side.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: The big thing is you shouldn't feel any scratches. You should see the cross hatch pattern in the cylinder walls which is normal.

Don't sand the cylinder walls. You need the cross hatch pattern ( those fine micro scratches) for the ring to seal against, works with the oil in the fuel. If you sand anything just the edges of the port openings.

Where I drew the arrow is what I was wondering about . I don't know if its a scratch or the edge of a port .

Hard to tell because of the shadow. It would be nice to know where the ring was pinched between the piston and cylinder.
Thats what i meant...just sand the edges and make sure they are smooth
The more I look the worst it gets.

Your piston looks fine to me. Your transfer bridge (the part were all worried about) I could go either way.... still really hard to tell from the pics. But it almost looks like it's been tweaked a bit.

Yea it almost looks twisted. I don think the piston is ever gonna slide smoothly across that. Probably eat the ring up in that spot too

1000 grit sandpaper and wd40..is it alright to do the same with piston ..because there a scratch that didn't show in the pics.

I'll post the result once I get the ring ..then if it doesn't work out .i'll buy a new cylinder and piston and will have learned something new.all this is the result of overtightening the the muffler bolt..one ldad's to another.peace
