Great to have you back on this, I've split the block and done a bit of degreesing but stuck with a couple of sheared bolts so it's time to learn how to mig weld to see if I can remove them. Looking forward to your next episode and also how you might go about cleaning the parts.

Very usefully stuff, I might take my engine apart for inspection and overhaul so this is very helpful

The knock sensor should read 5 ohm, at least that how it was on bombardier 3 cyl jetskie engines.
the surface of the sensor should be clean and tightened to a torque.
Like i said, the piston lays on it's side. many people do more than 250.000km with these engine, i know someone with a 1200GS that has 280.000km and just replaced his drive shaft. some Spaniard was aiming for 500.000km, but that guy was BMW dealer.

is there liquid sealant on the bottom of the cyl vs the crankcase? because no seal to buy there.

Hello, I ask you, are the piston pins different, is the one on the right cylinder lighter?
