Can you post a few pictures of the compression release area ?  If so maybe can suggest process on how to remove remainder of old release if you need help.

I don't think the system allows for posting photos.

Pulled the head and cylinder, turns out there is no vent hole in the cylinder wall corresponding to the external compression release so it appears that it never actually functioned. Still cannot get the broken body out of the cylinder, so still a project in works. Noted a couple of things. The engine serial number is stamped in the correct locations, but is only "R95", no full serial. Also there are obvious signs of someone doing a bit of die-grinder work inside the inlet area of the motor. Still need to clean up the exhaust side to see if anything was done on that side, as well. Cylinder bore looks pretty good, still mostly cross-hatched, light vertical scoring on the exhaust side of the piston. Bore measures 3.189" - 3.191" and the piston more like 3.183", so .008" total clearance. Have not measured ring gap yet. Planning to go to the meet at York, hoping to meet some of you with greater experience with the KTM's, decide how to move forward to get this thing together and streetable, and start accumulating the parts I will need. Any comments or thoughts are appreciated.
