It is necessary to repair a motorcycle with a blown cylinder, as it generally requires replacing related components such as the cylinder block, piston, piston rings, and valve oil seals. These parts are crucial for the long-term effectiveness of the repair, so they must be replaced together. If the camshaft is also damaged, it should be replaced as well; otherwise, the engine may later develop abnormal noises or overheating issues. A blown cylinder in a motorcycle is a severe mechanical failure caused by insufficient engine oil, clogged oil passages or filters, or a damaged oil pump. Essentially, the cylinder block, piston, and piston rings melt and fuse together due to high-temperature friction caused by lack of lubrication.
