The bloke who had it before me had the courtenay turbo on it. They cracked so perfectly that it didn't mark the bores and the top of the pistons looked like new. That's why I didn't check previously. It's actually obscene the state of them. I'll try and get pics up later.

Sounds crap mate, sorry to hear that.

Please post pics though, should be fun having a look at them.

We had a 1980 DR400 that did that, it ran badly, smoked etc,.. but did strike up easy enough... when I took the head and barrel off I couldnt believe it lol

The top half of the piston completly came off! :P
