Got it torn down last night and had a couple of questions. This will be for another Atlas that I'm rebuilding for my girls to ride around the block.
Everything was pretty clean.
The intake valve was stuck really bad with and after some work it came out. It is slightly bent and you can see light when shined in from the valve spring box. I'll get a new one for sure
The piston has one score line that you can hang a nail on. It starts just above the skirt and doesn't make it to the first ring. QUESTION. Can I just hone the block, it's in very good shape and use the piston as is with new rings or will that scoring come back to bite me in the butt?
