Ja, ja, I was expecting this one. In any case, I was announcing the installation of new reeds and how well the engine revs...

I can look through the exhaust ports, but that probably will not tell me anything with naked eyes. Of course, getting the barrels off is the way to go. But, Is there another way of checking the piston/barrel state? Difficulty to start? Performance loss? Instable idle? Compression drop? Plugs? Oil consumption? Temperature? Sound? cold/warm behaviour? Vibrations?

Should I check the barrels yes or yes? Or can I continue in the absence of any symptoms?

To elaborate a little bit more on the potential seizure causes. The engine had proven reliable on the track. Later mods are:

- installation of tyga reeds (with new gaskets). This can not endanger the engine health!
- sealing of exhaust port. Same.
- removal and installation of airbox. If I miss assembled it (airbox to carb joint) I would be putting more air in and leaning the mixture, but there was no power increase in the engine.
