    you need to remove the engine and the barrel, then fill the crankcase with petrol and manually turn the crank each way, then swill the petrol about and drain. repeat the process a few times, this should get most of the metal out of there.

    before building back up, make sure plenty of oil goes in the bottom end as petrol breaks it down.

    replace piston and rings and barrel if necessary.

    the rings have broken, and there are little bits broken from the piston.... :(

    but the bore is still smooth as f*ck :wtf: :w00t:

    ah well, getting another bore and piston fitted soon :pimp:
