the ski was still running had 60 compression in this cylinder. the ring was broken and part of the piston mysteriously dissapeared. you think i am ok just replacing the broken ring and putting it back together? or do you think it's essential to have the whole top of the piston?
Other how important is it to have the whole piston?

That rideplate throughly failed. The ski didn't ride right, the pump was unprotected and 95% of the plate it was missing. Damned that hard sand in daytona!

Hold on here.
That piston in the original post doesn't have a hole in it.
That's false advertisement.

I had a '74 Honda Elsinore MT250 that had CHUNKS of the top of the piston and the top ring missing. The rings were also like a 1/8 inch thick too and it wasn't really "high" performance. Ran great for years till I sold it and got ripped off, never deal with junkies on credit. Besides they destroyed it in a week anyway. Such a sad end for a classy mag case machine like that... Even if it was a hoopty.

some honda's are very tough to kill. i left a 4hp honda outside all summer without a spark plug. it didn't turn over very well and pumped water out the hole. someone brought it in the shop one day, so i found a plug and some ether and fired it up. it sounded funny because they drained the oil on me and just left it. haha. still running and alot quieter with oil in it.
yeah, but it was a Honda!
