Upon further review the ram has two significant pits (where the engine sat in the same position for 4 years) and was to the point that it would need to be re-chromed and then cut back down to size. I'd then need to buy the new seal kit and reassemble. I'm leaning towards replacing the cylinder with a 5345 but I have a friend who owns a manufacturing plant check into the feasibility of having the ram rebuilt.

Jamestown wants $548 for a new cylinder. I'm leaning towards just buying a new one and being done with it but then I go back to trying to do just enough for the sole purpose of initial on-water testing.

Does anyone have a recomendation for where to purchase a new cylinder? I'm sort of reluctant to buy from Amazon but I probably should not be.
