Wow, not easy to find these days. Question must be asked--how much are you asking. I ruined mine. It was very worn with chrome off around the ports but still went like hell. Then about 30 years later i thought i'd try it again but didn't have a proper ring, so shuffled all my rubbish rings around & selected one knowing full well not to run a chrome faced ring or whatever type you're 'not' meant to run. Decided i was safe but NO, & stuffed it in about 2 minutes warming it up. Never forgiven myself for that. Good thing about those cylinders was they stayed strong till the end where the "70-"71 DT1MX reborable cast liner used to loose its sharp power edge over a long race when hot. So--whoever buys it, just make damn sure to run the proper ring. Think its a cast type ring not a modern 'funny stuff' ring. Piston takes a parallel sided ring not keystone tapered if ya running the right original kit piston. Thanks for the memory--even if i didn't want to remember it haha. Oh one more thing. Do you think the scuffing is from having been seized at some stage or just chrome getting tired etc. Thanks.

$500 Shipped in US for head and barrel. All chrome-lined cylinders should be nikosil'd. The special cast rings needed for the Chrome barrel are unattainable. Nikosil, many opitions.

Yeah, I wouldn't even call it scuffing myself. Really looks for like polished high points like all those old chrome one.
