Today, I pulled the head off to replace the gasket and found some FOD.
It's clearly ingested something nasty, but was running and starting just fine before the tear down and I didn't see any cylinder wall damage with the piston at the bottom of it's travel.
I'm inclined to put it back together and keep on using it 'till it croaks. Maybe try to source a replacement in the mean time.
Since the damage is already done and it was running well before removing the head, is there any reason not to play dumb and just keep on keep'n on?
I don't think it matters, but this engine is a 31p777.
