[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 67100, member: 55"] Do you know why the engine blew? If you don't know that, you don't want to rebuild that cylinder, as it will eat another piston ring. I think you mentioned at one point that the muffs fell off for the previous owner? If it is a water related problem, I don't yet have the experience to know how far behind the other 3 cyls. are when one blows. However, it is very common for 3 cyls. to be perfect, and one dead on blown V4s that had a fuel delivery (think where the oil is in 2 strokes) related problem. I if I am remembering correctly, your motor has twin double barrel carbs, correct? And they are horizontal, not vertical, right? (IE, the top carb feeds cyl. 1 and 3, and the bottom carb feeds cyl 2 and 4). [/QUOTE]
