Yes the right way is with metal retaining bands, the wrong way is with zip ties like they did at the factory, oil lines pop off of these on a regular basis.

You can bet its either a dropped power valve or an oil line has come loose.

The good thing about those motors are each cylinder is removable individually. replace it with an sbt kit.

cool - thanks. He asked if I'd be interested in fixing it for him...won't hurt to have a look.
would a dropped PV cause no compression?

it depends on what happened. It could if it struck the piston/ring and broke it.

looks like a stock cylinder with no sleeve. This cylinder will either need to be nicasil plated or have a steel sleeve installed.

XMW recommended Millennium Technology in Wisconsin for the re-nic work. MT said $ 190-250 to do it

was that to bore and plate or plating only?

The whole thing. Price range is because they won't know exactly how much work it needs until it arrives

That price is for replating, MT also has a cylinder swap service, if they have one already done up, you pay a deposit, they will send it and when you send them the core cylinder back they refund the money to your credit card, they do excellent work.
