Just pop the cam gear/ chain off and pull the cylinder head off. See what it looks like. I rebuilt old Honda's with no money as a kid and was successful. Find an old hone tool and a drill to clean up the cylinder and put new rings in it. Gaskets are cheap and I even made my own from scratch when I was an impatient teenager. Snug it all back together and see what happens!

You can post some pics of things as you take them apart for us to see and give you some advice. These things are super easy to work on. Just get it running first and worry about making it pretty once it's rolling. You don't want to strip and paint up an engine just to find out that the cylinder has been bored out to the max or the bearings inside are shot.
