Loose like someone took a black widow case and tossed a TD .051 (the single groove on piston indicates this) cylinder and piston along with a product engine backplate.

It's what I call a 'junk box' engine. I have built a few of them myself.

Get a new PL or add a bvit of oil to it as some engines feel like they have a lack of compression when dry.
It there are thrust washers it most likely uses a cox international killer crank as some of them need thrust washers.

Looks kinda like that "Banana .049". Never seen that kind of NV spring.
Wish I had put a thrust washer on my Killer Bee, it badly needed it.

That needle valve looks to have been shortened.

Relative newboy so forgive the if not stupid then silly question...
Shouldn't the cylinder have a 5 stamped on it if it's 051?

It's pretty low on the skirt though, wouldn't be helpful in flaring the piston for better compression.

Travis does it run?
I mean like mudhen said what do you want to do with it then choose what you need to do to get it there.

Won't it help a worn piston or cylinder though? That's what I gathered from a friend of mine.
