So because my kickstart gear popped off, requiring me to split the cases, I figured why not disassemble the top end...of a perfectly fine running engine. I probably shouldnt have, but I already have the damn thing apart and am looking for opinions on to overbore, or not.
I am thinking about just sending the jugs to Boretech for a 65.5mm bore & hone job, plus picking up their pistons & rings. This will cost north of $300 with a couple weeks of down time.
My second option is to keep things as-is and just replace the rings. That will cost me much less of course, with little down time.
What do you think of my pistons and cylinder walls? Supposedly the cylinders have been honed recently, although I cant confirm that. Cross-hatching is still present, but on the right cylinder I see what appears to be embedded water stains - not sure what that is about. Any advice would be great!
