I sure hope there's another basket with some more parts. I think you're missing a few things. j/k

I have to check my manual when I get home. If you have a new piston ring you can slide it down level into the jug and check it with a feeler guage. A large gap would indicate worn or over bored cylinders.

kyjohn......The standard bore is 3.188 inches and the stroke is 3.8125 inches. This is a piston displacement of 60.9 cubic inches. The first thing you need to get is a factory manual (if you do not have one) and I advise you to get the factory manual, not a Clymers or some such issue....................pg
