pulled your a 80 apart

seems its had a stuck ring and serious blow by/no compresion

not siezed, happened because

dum dum dum

the top ring was upside down

freed it up, but the ring is worn all funny, and it still runs like a bag ofr arseholes

I suspect the low comp is why it had a insanely hot plug in it

long story short, needs ring, and piston has no oversize marks on it

BAHAHAHA

so the piston/cylinder are all good to run? if all she needs is a new set of rings that's awesome

Yes, now the main question is the state of the cylinder - no damage there?

Also, what will be your beer of choice?

cylinder good

it really does run like a bag of arseholes, but the rings are fucked and when apart it was plain as that it was running rich as hell

havn't looked into quality of spark etc to see if any other dramas, but it all looks good
