Yep, may as well be. Trying to pass any information onto someone that has nothing better to do then argue all day is mostly like talking to a brick wall.So the conversation with you... like talking to a brick wall

Um, no, the term you would be looking for is integral, not non removable.Exactly
You say it runs? How bout doing a compression test and give us a number. It will take a while for it to break in.Grade matched? Its an old chainsaw, I bought aftermarket from Red Barn.
how about you do a compression test on the old gal see what it’s at. It will take a bit for the new rings to seat. Also it’s 44 ccs so it never going to thump over like my 2100 or your motor cross bikesI've been around 2 stroke bikes for 30 years, so Im familliar with plating and who to go to, etc.
My 452VL ran ok but was a bit low on compression. I did a top end, crank seals, etc and still little compression. (Not measured but pulling the cord there's zero feedback, runs though) Cylinder is obviously worn. No scoring or anything obvious. What do you vintage guys do in this situation? A replate at Millennium Technologies (if they'd even do it) is up to $320 now and you never know what you get used off Ebay.

I believe you will find that is a 4 stroke, iron bore engine.If memory serves it was a powerplus motor cycle, cerca 1920's.
To the deaf dogSaid the blind man.
4 stroke has nothing to do with it, nor does an iron bore. It's a common misconception that iron and steel can't be plated. Which it can. It's usually reserved for exotic,rare and experimental things that can't be fixed other wise. some Nascar teams were playing with it at one point for its higher wear characteristics while using ultra low tension rings. In the case of the Indian cylinders, there is hardly enough room to bore and sleeve them. Wear was within the tolerances of thickness they could add back with the plating process. Win, win just expensive.I believe you will find that is a 4 stroke, iron bore engine.
Well when you find a shop that will plate a blind cylinder let us all know.4 stroke has nothing to do with it, nor does an iron bore. It's a common misconception that iron and steel can't be plated.

2mm squish.The squish may have been excessive to start with, add to that a piston thats a few thou shorter & doesn’t have a layer of carbon on top & you could well have 0.050" more squish than what's ideal (& a bunch less compression)
