Well, would a .020 overbore do much for the displacement at all other than get rid of some scoring and hot spots? I'd deffinetly find the money for the overbore if they hot tanked the motor for free. I have OCD so dirty motors make me twitch.

I can't afford diagnostics and measurments, balancing, all the bells and whistles.h:
