COKE   the fizzy type not the powder. Some articles on google, they also say after soaking use high compressed air to move rings, Mike

Would have thought coke would attack the piston but it's worth a shot. Going to measure the cylinder properly & confirm it's condition is as good as my initial measurement suggested

50 per cent acetone and auto transmission fluid as a penetrate or diesel, my favourite and cheap.

To clean the carbon try some of that spray on foaming  alloy wheel cleaner, it easily moves baked on brake dust but I would watch it though.
Wanted to buy a CZ back in the day, $1000 in a crate with spare wheels and engine parts plus plus.
Father put a stop to that big time.

Definitely good to have a win.
Had the crank split today & the pin looks good, not so good news for the rod but I'm pretty sure the rod out of the motor that had damaged pin & roller is good. No rod kits here in NZ at the moment & it sounds like they might be in short supply in the states at the moment so I'll need to get 1 out of Europe.
I'm dropping the cases off tomorrow for vapourblasting & will have to see if I can find a spacer for between the main bearings as that was missing, all going to plan I should have the motor back together by the end of the year.
I talked to Steve Roberts this afternoon about straightening out the bent rear frame tubes & once I've stripped the rest of the bike down I'll take the frame over to him
