Some of the fastest shipping I've seen. I just hope I don't have the soft piston syndrome I've been reading about.
Everyone one of mine that I've opened so far has been full of junk -- mostly thread chips from the cylinder threads. Besides thoroughly cleaning, I trued up the cylinder seat, back of the crankcase and nose with some 400 grit and oil on a glass plate.

The inside of the piston around the rod socket also had some gunk that I rinsed out with acetone and a cotton swab.

Good luck with yours -- the ones with the softer piston came in a couple of weeks ago. The ones that shipped before the SS's were out of stock for a while seemed much harder.
