Ok well no matter what i did something kept getting in the way of working on the buggy..

Finally got irritated yesterday and got the top of the motor off. Old cylinder looks like its in ok shape no heavy damage.
Piston showed real damage around piston skirt and ring area. Rings were compressed and trapped.
Gonna hone and save old cylinder as a back up.

New piston and jug installed.

Worked all morning today on cleaning up the head holy crap was that thing in rough shape.

Combustion chamber volume was probably reduced by 20% from all the build up.
Exhauste port was reduced by 25% atleast.

Got them all cleaned up and cleared the casting flaws. Got intake shim matched to intake port man that thing was way off.

Still have to lap the valves and match intake shim to intake neck then i can finally put it all back together and get her ready to start.

Should see a good increase in power from fixing all of this stuff.

Paint and wires are still on hold stuff kept getting in the way every time i tried to start on either one.
