yes I can do a piston and a rod. but your friend is talking balls.
I would gladly, take a handful of sand and pour it into my frame while running the bike. I'd do it as a party trick if you you like!
one grain of sand at a time goes in and then goes out. take the throttle plate attached. its a plate. it breaks up and goes down the inlet tract, the inlet valves smash it small enough to go in the cylinder and then it goes out after parhaps a few cycles of the engine.
no damage, no missfire. I've yet to even hear of a plug gap closing which is if noghting else the one thing you can rely on happening!
your mains are gone, the metal spat on the cylinder wall and then the piston rubbed on it. ask him to check the strainer and magnet and there will be ferrous metal all over the two.
sorry mate. BTW, people won't even call me an expert so why should he have that moniker?
cheers
