I was looking on Ebay and found a cylinder for my DT 250. The listing
said Piston and cyl are standard sized and probsbly don't even need to
be honed. I bought it for $65 and got in the mail about a week later.
I unwrapped it and was looking at the parts when I glanced down the
bore and saw two vertical grooves dow the inside and right past one og
the ports. Yep. Someone did a creative rebuild and left the wrist pin
clip out of one side and did lots of damaooge. Now the fun part.
I contacted theOF seller and told him of the problem. He said it was
intentional from the factory that the grooves were there. I files a
complaint with Ebay and gae the idiot all the negative feedback I
could and now must wait.

As it turns out, yes. However they are not easy to see and there was
no mention of them in the ad.

I once got a McD English muffin with a bite taken out of it. The
counterdroid said 'They come that way'. The manager disagreed.
