4 of 5 Cylinder fit October 31, 2013
Reviewer: Bruce Cull from Sutton West, ON Canada  
The cylinder mounting holes were a bit of centre from the orignal holes on the casing. I had to open up the mounting holes in the cylinder on two holes. The carb seems to sit lower than the orignal so I mounted the carb before torquing down the cylinder, by raising the cylinder I could mount the carb since I had more access to the carb bolts.I had to plug the decompresion hole in the side of the cylinder as I didn't have need of it.
