I did but I wouldn't really call it half a job or put it like that. A part can be worn but within tolerable specs as given in the manual and is perfectly useable.
While not fully dismissing the possibility, I do doubt it is the piston/rings. I was wondering if it might be a leaking exhaust valve guide or something and if any of you have had similar issues? Still...maybe the rings/sleeves/pistons?
This is my very first sleeved engine rebuild. Are sleeves prone to egging? :?:
