Found this bike on craigslist. It was in decent shape, engine was locked, but the chrome looked good.

<p>Took the head off and the cylinders looked ok, a little bit of surface rust but WD40 fixed that. Pistons came out with a small tap with the wooden end of a hammer. Honed the cylinders and added new rings. </p>
