Ok guys pulled the jugs...not really sure what the think from looking at everything. What are your thoughts? By looking at the pistons, it seems like there is a gap between the piston and the jug. Time for a bore maybe? How do I know if these are the original pistons ? (looks like pitting but it's accidental coolant spill)

Wiseco kits are on ebay for $200 shipped WITH gasket sets

ya times are tough these days. If I can get away with a $300 build that would be awesome, but I know it's not gonna happen lol. But I know I can find a Wiseco top end kit online for about $200....so if I can have the heads inspected and bored at a local shop for $100 that puts me right where I want to be.

i MIGHT be at 1000ft above sea level, lol

Yes adapter is the same length. I held it WOT and kicked until the gauge stopped moving. When I rode it I could tell it something was wrong...it didn't feel like my KTM 250 smoker at all. So what shop should I send the head to? Honestly I don't want to spend more than $300 for the top end rebuild.

Ya...I have heared anything 110 and below should be rebuilt. Forgive my ignorance, but what is the difference between a hone and a bore? And does either one increase the engine power ? Which company do you recommend to inspect and hone/bore the jugs?

Well got a banshee for cheap- I knew the motor didn't seem all there- so I did a compression test got 80 psi in both cylinders. Also- it lags/bogs when I first rev it, even on a warm engine. Can this be caused by the low compression? I did notice the parking brake cable has been removed- not sure about the TORS. If I rebuild the top end it will be my first two-stroke project (I am pretty mechanically inclined as far as car engines). But what Wiseco kit should I buy? Do you have the heads checked first and then decide what bore to go with ? Any help is appreciated !
