That's true; I forgot to ask how many miles are recorded on the odometer. ;) Has the engine lost power, or is the engine burning oil? If neither case is true, I would hone the cylinder, clean the piston, and install new piston rings and new gaskets. :) However, I would still clean the inside of the cylinder head, lap the valves, and purchase new valve stem seals. ;)

Based upon your answers, I think you are wise to bore and hone the cylinder as you planned. :)
|
Agreed. That's a considerable number of miles.

One should always take the new piston to the machinist before he bores and hones the cylinder. If a competent machinist has the new piston, he should be able to do the job correctly. ;)

Hector, it is a good idea to choose the smallest diameter you can, so you have more bore options in the future. Take your cylinder and piston to the machine shop to get their opinion.

You are making good progress. I suggest you also order a new piston pin, which connects the piston to the connecting rod on the crankshaft. ;) The piston pin is part #10 in the following diagram.

Hector, where is it winter in Mexico? I'm sitting in PV right now, and it is beautiful outside. I think it is about 28C.
Chineros! I love it! |

I was actually north of Puerto Vallarta, in Bucerias. I'm home now, and it is 8C here right now; not too bad.
