During the holidays we used a wire wheel on the bench grinder t get rid of gunk on the intake and exhaust valves we then applied valve grind paste, this got rid of imperfections and gaps that could affect performance. We also took off the old piston rings and used the cylinder hone to grind the cylinder. But we ran into a problem. The piston rings we ordered did not fit around our piston. When we went to ynots to see what we should do they said we may have to buy a whole new piston to get the rings. We also tried to get rid of the snapped piece of the screw that was stuck. We would not have normally bothered with this but the screw was right where the cylinder is and it might affect the compression if that bolt is not there. We have started uploading photos and explanations on the engine reassembly process.
