Bad news indeed. Good you have an extra and the skill to replace it.

Oh well.
Even for a failed build/experiment...... I got thousands of miles All my previous builds I just got factory .5 mm overbore piston, new rings, gaskets and new valve guides then let the machine shop do their magic and then I reassemble with factory gaskets and a tiny bit of mojo. One thing is surprising... This silly thing just keeps running like the Terminator. It has it's fits but just wont quite die 9-] It ran spitting out combustion gasses and oil but it just kept running o_O |

I have to say, they are built like a tank for an economy level bike.

The GZ is a simple bike with relatively simple cures when things go south.
