I started off by giving the motor a good run and apart from the bottom seal spraying some oil around all seemed to be pretty good. A degrease and Gernie were next followed by a few before pics

I stripped down the motor and found the oil control spring behind the top ring ? Was this an effort to increase compression or just a stuff up ?

Piston and cylinder are in good nick, if I can find some rings I will hone it. If not ?

Am I right in wanting 080" rings but is that a 6 or a 9 stamped on the barrel ?
