There are many possible reasons and factors that can cause seizure and ductility in 2-stroke engines. One of the factors that should be suspected is the "edge condition" of the intake and exhaust ports and scavenging ports. When a cylinder is disassembled into individual parts, the upper and lower edges of the intake and exhaust ports and scavenging ports should be checked for sharp edges or burrs! Be sure to check and take the best possible measures. If the skirt side under the piston rings is stained with carbon as shown in the image above , it is thought that explosive combustion gases are blowing into the primary compression chamber due to poor airtightness caused by worn piston rings. Therefore, replacement of piston rings or boring and honing of oversize pistons are essential.

Check when engine is disassembled and chamfering is performed when boring is performed.

When machining port chamfering on a 2-stroke cylinder, be careful to hold the cylinder firmly in place before working on it, or you may scratch or otherwise damage the cylinder's inner walls.
Intake and exhaust ports immediately after boring and honing have sharp edges, so be careful!

The inner wall of a 2-stroke cylinder that has been bored to accommodate oversized pistons. This is how it looks immediately after boring. The internal combustion equipment maker chamfers each port before moving on to the honing process.

The workbench dedicated to port processing looks like this. It is gate-shaped and features a vertical cut pipe welded face down. Cloth duct tape is applied to the R surface of this half-pipe to prevent scratching the cylinder's inner wall.

There was an air duct right next to the workbench that efficiently sucked up the scattered cutting dust and collected it in a dust collector. Desk lights were placed in front of and facing each other to illuminate the work, allowing the port shape to be clearly seen.

Cutters and wheel bars are set on the pneumatic port grinder used during chamfering operations. The top one is a spherical super steel bar for cast iron cylinders and the front one is a rubber wheel bar for plated cylinders. Both are commercially available.
R-chamfering, which is gentle to the piston edge, is another important operation.

After chamfering the edges of the intake, exhaust, and scavenging ports of the cylinder with a port grinder, be sure to chamfer the piston skirt area as well. This is even more necessary for new pistons. Instead of chamfering the piston skirt, be sure to lightly rub the skirt edge with waterproof paper No. 600 or so.
The larger the ports on a 2-stroke high-performance engine, the higher the incidence of problems.

The 500H1 and 750H2 engines in the Kawasaki Mach series have particularly large intake and exhaust ports, which allow the pistons to pivot during reciprocating motion, causing each edge of the piston to collide with the port edge. This causes the inner walls of the cylinders and the top and bottom of the ports to reduce easily. Typical examples are the Kawasaki H1/H2, Yamaha 250DT1, Kawasaki 250TR Bison, and 350TR Bighorn.
- Point 1 - There are many things you can notice by understanding engine structure and piston movement.
- Point 2 - If you like engine maintenance and tuning, you want to own a port grinder, rheater, and various polishing bars
