One cylinder was scored pretty badly. Enough honing to get the
score marks out and she's just a tad out of spec. Pistons and rings are fine.


Options.

Put her together as is?
0 additional $

Find another block? Maybe someone reading this is getting ready to bore a prefectly good 'J' block???
Good block on ebay is a $60 crap shoot

Find some oversize pistons and bore this block? Maybe someone reading this has a set of 75mm and has decided not to resleeve their 998CC 'J' block.
Good used pistons on ebay is a $60 crap shoot.

Bore out the spare 998CC 'J' block for the good 72.45mm pistons and save the 1100 block for a future project?
guessing $200 for boring don't know going rate for decent job

Buy the $150 set of 75mm 13:1 KZ1000 pistons on ebay, bore the 1100 block and be happy with the increase to 11:1 compression(these are kz1000 pistons so wrist pin is higher than in 'J' piston which drops compression)?
$200 for boring and $160 for pistons.

This bike is not bad. Black repaint. All there. Appears to need little else, but I have not had it running yet.
The tightwad in me says, put her back together as is unless a parts swap turns up.
The 'wow a bargain' factor knows a $150 set of pistons isn't going to wait...what to do?

Yep, I've been measuring stuff today. The $42 incl chip, 0.50 over block and pistons from ebay turned out to be near perfect. It's going on the police motor which is where the spare 998 block will come from.

How about just replacing the one bad sleeve?

No, no, no. The bike needs a new home, in Texas...I can see you are vexed by this troublesome scooter...it needs to be next to its bretheren in a toasty garage in Alvin:laugh:

Not vexed. Merely puzzled by the forest of options. New liner it is. The pistons are attractive but I'm going to put $ toward other bike stuff.
