As a minimum a new seal for the bottom of the barrel followed by if it isn’t broke don’t fix it.

Anyone got views on non genuine parts? or as im assuming, not worth the bother?

Depends on where you buy your part and who made it.

Most of the pattern parts are fine although there were some pretty dire ones about a while back

Oh yeah, sorry, when I buy pistons and such I buy factory parts.

Alright Josh! I'd go for genuine parts. It's a bit of a ball ache changing a pot and piston and takes a bit of time.

 

The piston rings should come with the piston. Also sometimes you may need to change the crankshaft bearing if there's play in it.

The ones I buy come out of a factory, or did you mean genuine parts?
