Mic'd the cylinder bore tonight and it's well within spec for new standard rings. 3.501 to 3.5015 (everywhere under 3.502 and the limit is 3.503.)

Ordered a rebuild kit with piston, rings, gaskets, valves, etc.

Meanwhile, will be picking up the frame, brakes, rear end from a 1450 on Thursday so I can scavenge the axles. Will be a hassle to drain the rear end and replace the gasket again, but it will be worth it I think. Once I get the axles painted and swapped out, I can put the fenders, seat, and rear wheels on while I am waiting on parts for the engine overhaul.
