Decided it was time to experience the RB mods, I can't wait!!!
Questions
My 200 is an 2005 model and I have about 3500 miles on it.
The cylinder looks good, BUT one area doesn't fell smooth, it looks like 2 scratches I'll try to take some pics.
I guess I'll have to take the cylinder off and inspect everything
Here is a pic of the piston, there is a bit of carbon deposit but I don't think it's too bad, I manage to remove most of it.
I noticed the piston can rotate a bit, maybe less than 1 degre; is this normal?
This is the 1st time I pulled the head off, so don't really know what to expect.
Since the head is off, should I replace the piston and / or ring?
Do you have to replace the head gasket everytime you remove the head?
Anything else I should check while it's all torn down?
Thank you all

I wasn't gonna remove the cylinder but my curiosity took over and that scratch worried me, so wanted to check everything out since it's all torn down. As for the thorough cleaning I second that, I thought I cleaned everything pretty good but there's always some dust coming out of nowhere
The scratch is not very deep, you can see it and feel it, maybe 1/5 of a millimeter?
And yep I am like a kid before xmas, can't wait for Ron's goodies
Thanks for the feed back.
