is anyone running a fire breather top end kit. Wondering if your having inside cylinder chrome issues.seems they smooth hone the cylinder after port work.bad idea it think out the chrome an us going through in places. I put this kit on a pk 80 an it runs great.But. It looks like worm wood on the inside. What else could had caused it.with about 40 miles on motor:-||

I recently returned a cylinder to Duane due to what looked like spauling or poor coating.
After seeing this on a new cylinder - I'm now suspicious of any top ends I buy and inspect new engines for it now. These cylinders are not honed in the typical fashion your thinking.
