Looks as they missed a spot. Nothing a little JB Weld won't fix.

Re: hole a piston no problem a new fix
Heh, wish I'd thought of that when I holed the left piston in my 380 earlier in the year

Good thing the GT has such a generous combustion chamber.....

If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.

Did they describe it as "lightly used", "solid motor", or ...?

Re: hole a piston no problem a new fix
Would that be the Cleveland area? Only ask because I have already seen a number of very questionable ebay ads. Can't tell what's used, what's refurbished, what's genuine nos, etc. Leaves me a bit skeptical to say the least.

Re: hole a piston no problem a new fix
I see your Suzuki piston and raise you a Kawasaki.....it WAS running when the new owner got it.

Re: hole a piston no problem a new fix
Nice needle work there with that copper wire. You don't see workmanship like that anymore.
