This one got a little too hot. Thinking a light hone/new rings
and and it will be good to go.
Only remaining question is, mineral or PhillipsXC for the break-in.

We have it on good authority from well qualified PoA'er that this should fix you right up:

What are we even looking at here? Cylinders have valves and spark plugs at one end and open on the other. I've never seen a cylinder with a line running through it.
 
That is a cylinder with piston. Piston has wrist pin and remains of connecting rod. The connecting rod came from together for no apparent reason obviously.
 
I think if you dump half a can of barkeeper's friend in the oil and run it for half an hour or so it'll be good to tbo.

Ah, that makes sense. What looked to me like a hexagonal connector is actually what's left of the sheared off connecting rod. Thanks.
 
JB weld, dremel, and an EXPERIMENTAL sticker is all I need to get it airborne again. Screw a bunch of regs. Pansies.
 
What in the world happened to the block to make the cylinder that shape? It looks like it was buried and partially crushed.
 
But a lack of one may have
 
Labels.jpg The rest of the story:
I was cleaning out a field with a bunch of junk I had 'stored'. A fire had gone through the pasture 6 years ago and over heated some items there. Thought of you guys when I saw this. It is a B&S mower engine. Beside it were puddles of aluminum (metallurgists among us will immediately know the min temp of this conflagration)
:)
 
I would go with mineral-you don't want to risk glazing up that fine honing job you have there...and those D shaped rings are getting harder to come by...
