Hey thanks for the quick reply, and sorry i havent been on to thank you for a while...Anyways got my engine put back togeather, got oil in it...And i have yet another problem.

I got the engine for free because this guy ran it out of oil, and the piston seized up. I replaced the crankshaft, piston, and connecting rod, and put the engine all back togeather.. Whenever i pull on the pull start, its REALLY tough to pull for like the first 1/4 of the way, then its still tough, but it will pull easyer. Before i took the engine apart it would NOT pull at all.. Should i put some oil in the cylinder under the piston? Or what can i do? Thanks

Did you use assembly lube?

Bore/hone the cylinder? Did it start to score?

You must hone the cylander and maybe bore it depending on damages, your suposed to lube the piston and all moving parts heavily before assembly.
