I just bought a 2006 Ltr, the guy said it needed piston and rings.
Should I buy a stock compression piston or I have been looking at a 12.8:1 je piston.

Next question would be is if I buy the je piston would I be able to run stock valves and springs

You better open that sucker up and make sure what he said is true.. Make sure your cams are spinning free also.

Will it run at all? When i bought my 07 the guy said it just needed the valves adjusted and the air box as full of oil. Cylinder and piston was toast.

Yes it runs. But just like you said it has oil on the air filter and smokes a little

I've been running that JE 12:8:1 piston for awhile and I love it. You can get away with running pump gas or spend the extra for race gas.
