compression issue fixed. new head installed fires up and seems to be happy with the new head. things are looking up for my freebie bike.

checked the milage on it now..

not much over 12.5k miles.. (which i think is crazy low)

sourcing a new barrel boring it to +0.75 or +1.0

if this dosent work keep an eye out for me wanting a new engine.

-edit--

lost out on that barrel, so headed over to abbeymotors,

Shiny new "2nd hand" barrel arrived today (well whole engine really) Stock bore, good condition. good condition piston, and im happy that i have it.,
