Default Re: '88 with 2pg gets real hot

took the top end off and as i expected i'd melted the rings. got a new top end i'm going to throw together this afternoon hopefully. i've taken the carb back off and cleaned/checked jets. I only had one gasket between the carb and intake. i'm going to make a slightly thicker gasket than stock and reinstall. i will also replace fuel to me certain i have 3oz oil to 1 gallon gas. if it cranks and runs i'll do spray with starting fluid and see what the results are. I typically use just a little high temp rtv along with the gasket when i install the cylinder and head. i haven't checked timing because when it ran it ran about the same in reverse and forward along with i just don't want to mess with pulling fan just yet.
