average joe can replace parts but real machining is left to those who are certified.

getting an engine bored,sleeved,honed is a very precise art. you have to carefully measure how much is being taken off per cylinder. and measure out the diffrences in pistons. nothing is perfect. so you have to accomodate that the best you can when rebuilding an engine. making sure you keep pistons designated to the correct cylinder etc.

overall if you rebuild an engine you gain the satisfaction that your brand old engine has another 1xx,xxx miles to go. but while you are at it, why not upgrade the internals a bit.


OT: KAI, where in va are you?
