I did that too! I burned all 4 cylinders at once, heated with a torch and a hot air gun. It appears I'll need to split the cases and take the cylinder off with the rods hanging.

Like this little Suzie 185 right now on Marketplace around me for the princely sum of 200 bucks. Might be kind of fun posting and sharing some of these heaps when they pop up.

Dirt bikes are the most expensive to restore, at least compared to many other street bikes.

 A guy gave me a 100 Suzuki, it had been left in a shed full of chloride for concrete. Between the rust and concrete dust it was a goner.
