Hey guys! First off my name is Michael and I'm from the hills of Tennessee. I recently bought an 80s model sr250 "bobber" project for $300. And after many attempts to get it to fire, I decided to tear the motor apart. (Side note: this is my first motor tear down/ rebuild ; I'm not very educated in engines however I'm trying to build this bike by myself and learn as I go.) after the tear down I found that the piston ring was broke. The cylinder sleeve was scratched and the piston was damaged as well. I'm not sure what my next move will be but I'm trying to make sure I understand/know all my options before picking a route to take... that's where you guys come in!! I was told by a friend that I could "hone" the sleeve, "sand" the piston and buy oversized rings. Is that possible? Seems like a temporary fix? Can I bore the the sleeve I have now and put a tad bit bigger piston in it? Or is the best to replace the piston, sleeve and rings all together?
