I moved this to the kids section so LT80 can give you some advice.. Id say the piston, rings and cylinder are junk.. not sure if you need a new cylinder or if that one can be bored out.. LT80 will know..

You will need a top end rebuild.
ie: new piston/rings and bore to match.
I allways use a new piston pin, pin brg, and cir-clips.
We would need to figure out what size your cylinder is on. You see what is in the top of your piston.. .0 .5 1.0
You can go to:
Ohio Motorcycle ATV Dealer - North Ridge Yamaha Suzuki - Geneva, OH - Scooter Utility-vehicle, snowmobile
And look at the parts fiche. Seeing the parts blowup can explain alot.
I have a few cylinders being freshened up and will be for sale very soon.
This may be something your interested in.
Surely there is a local guy wherever you are that can help also.
Hope that helps.

does the piston coating ensure that the ring remained undamaged under intense mechanical forces? a friend recommends a hardier coating.
