Default RE: dead engine?

All the bearings are smooth. THe front bearing is sealed so no metal got into it. the bearing inside next to the cam was exposed and right smack in the middle of the action but somehow no damage seems to have been done. Iguess the presure from the incoming fuel kept it going to the top of the cylinder and out the exhaust. Iblew it out and oiled it and blew it out again. I was able to get the air stream into it in a way tht the bearings were spinning inside the races like a buzz saw. They zoomed with no grinding or drag. Wtih it all back together it spins smoothly. No rough spots or hitches. Igotta go by and pick up an exhaust gasket, Ill prob see about getting the bearing anyway.The cylinder looks ok. There are some very minor scratches on them, but nothing deep. I could be wrong, But I think they are pretty well off. If Ipush the piston head in the sleeve Ican push it in to where it is flush with the top of the sleeve but it wont go any further. It slides in and out pretty smooth.........................take it easy gutter brains.....................so Im goint to try it for now.
