My 2.0L parts showed up today in the mail with some damage on them. I'm most concerned about the bottom of cyl #4 which has a chip missing from the bottom of the collar that slides into the case.
There are numerous cooling fins missing from cyl 3 and 4 but I'm not as concerned about those fins missing. But cyl 4 does have a significant number of them missing. Any thoughts?

I've spoken with two experts in town about the damaged cylinders. Both agree that I should be able to still use the cylinders. That number 4 is a little scetchy since it has a number of fin corners missing.
However I'm not exactly in Arizona here in Victoria BC Canada and it stays quite mild here all year round. The chip out of the bottom of #4 also is not of any concern, because the notch it is out of is only for crank clearance and that skirt also plays no role in the seating or sealing of the cylinder. So I "should" be able to get away with it. James |
