missing ring,should i find it?

[repunzel34]

I have a 1986 Cr 80R, i was in 6th gear wide open ( lol 75-80 Klm) and it died out, the problem is the ring broke ( minor dammage to the cylinder). i cant find all the pieces, its not in the ports, theres not much missing, but should i still find the rest of it? it is in the case somewhere i bet, can i ride it as is with a new piston/rings?

i duno dude....id be carefull....i had something like that come back to haunt me...missed one little piece, and it cost my 300 dollars..... did you check the exhaust? i have found pieces of the piston in the pipe and the silencer when a head blows....

Its most likely in the sides or bottom of the crank. Id definatly find it, its going to get dislodged & break your new top end.

I would wouldnt chance it... spit the cases if need be... at least you'll know that it wont be coming back to haunt you...

Split the cases, its not as hard as you think. New gaskets = 30 bucks. New top end, crank, and possibly cases = more than the bike is worth
