Small engine trouble

yes you did - me doing 3 things at once... didn't read and comprehend before I replied.. yea, scoring in the cylinder would be bad. (notice I didn't say 2 things at once.. 'cause.. you know.. anyone can do two things at once... and not fudge them up.. LOL)
I said as long as the cylinder didn't get beat up, and that dent right where it looks like the sealing metal ring of the head gasket sits. :D

Or what I meant anyway.
