Husqvarna 562xp came in for spark plug thread repair but the insert would not come out without damaging the cylinder more. Upon tearing it down to swap the piston and cylinder (they come as a kit), I saw that it was a good thing that swapping the cylinder had to happen. The factory piston pin that locates the ring had loosened up and was gouging the cylinder wall/piston. Here's a few progress pics of damage and cleaning it up in preparation for new parts.
