Hey Guys, long time lurker, first time poster. I picked up a 82 CX500 for $180.00 yesterday and I started tearing into it tonight. A bit of background info on it, it was purchased by its PO to be a parts bike, the owner previous to him claimed he had it running right before he purchased it the speedo has it at 15,500 miles. well the PO took what he needed off it and let it sit out back with the spark plugs out of it. It turned over very hard at first but as I worked it a bit it got easier and now turns smoothly. it looks like someone put either marvel mistery oil in it or some tranny fluid. well heres what it looked like when I pulled it in.
well tonight I tore into it to see how bad the cylinders were, and here is what i found
LEFT
RIGHT
you can see in the pictures which cylinder had all the water in it, so my question is do you think I can do a quick ball hone to clean out the rust in the right and run it? I can definately feel the rust, but it doesnt seem totally pitted. let me know what you guys think.
