For those of you who don’t know i was that one that newbed it up and seized my gila at Stinko even though I had a nice brown plug. I don’t know how i did it and the culprit was never really determined (some say timing, some say my oil mix, some say gremlins.) Anyways, After getting it back and cleaning it up, everything is looking pretty tip top except for a few little chips in the nikasil lining in the cylinder. I was wondering if running it like this would be okay or should i have further work done to it. Here are some pics of the damage:



hopefully you can see it. There is a similar chip on the opposite side of the wall but it’s more or less the same looking as the one in the pic. The rings also look good and don’t have any flat spots. Any info is greatly appreciated. Either way special thanks to elliot, rafter, jimmy, eric and tommy for giving me faith in bringing this kit back to life. Hopefully it will be one the road very soon.
