Thanks bud
I would usually recommemd that you keep the one you got for parts and get a new one, one thing you could do is purchase part #08536 (p5 p/s/r set) and have a whole new animal, the hard part is when all this happens inside the engine that it usually messes up more than the untrained eye can notice and it probably need s bearings, who knows if the crank pin is within tolerance , there are a few things to look at besides just the piston/sleeve


Lmk if you need anything, the new x3 is gonna replace the n21r limited just so everyone knows, they will be 145$ and they come with the new carb
