it will probly cost you around the same amount to get new cylinders... even to get used stockones and have them re ported would be cheaper in most cases

i live in cali but my guy gets sleeves for about a hundred buck and depending on how far over you wanted to go we can get a price on a piston kit, they are usually never more than 100 or a 150.

u can still hone the cyl, just not bore them. all honing really does is take all the fine sctraches out and breaks the glaze. id wait til it blows again, but thats just me.

 

i got my sleeves from LASleeves (after i found a crack in my left cyl) and i havent had any prob;ems with them yet.i then paid $80 each to have them installed and bored to fit teh new pistons
