    i wonder what the cylinder water jacket looks like...

    if you plan on running this check the coolant ALL of the time

    and i would kick the engine over very slow after its been witting for while encase the cylinder leaks

    If it does not move at first, get a bigger hammer!!     Myspace

    i bet hes still running it with no problems. i just fixed a similar problem on my 87 cr250. these cr's are tough but i have read that those earlier years than mine are especially bad for corroding because of a mix of magnesium and aluminum and even another metal thrown in. Mines got perfect compression but i might have a seal leak in there because theres a whitecolored foam in my radiator after i ride. I use premixed antifreeze/coolant.
    If i ever open my waterpump i will have a ugly sight like yours but what i think is its running now just enjoy it.
