I've been putting off removing the head on my CRM just to inspect the barrel and check piston size. In days of old it was possible to remove heads on motorbike engines and put them back on again without having to renew the head gasket.

Thanks. Received bushes and oil and dust seals from Leisure Trail today so will put back together this weekend. I'm going to try 10wt oil.
