Boring AND honing needs to be done in order of 2, 4, 1, 3 to avoid incorrect clearances due to heat distortion unless you let the whole block cool after each pass.
For $60 you probably get a wrecked block with poor compression and a high oil usage unless the machinist is a good friend and the $60 is mates rates for beer money.

Great idea!baldy110 wrote: Or you can simply get the cylinder and pistons off a KZ1100 or GPz1100 and no machining required, bolts right on.
Are there forum members who keep their KZ1100 outside and don't have guns? :evil:
The best upgrade is to sell KZ1000 for 2500 and buy KZ1100 for $1000

Why ? $149 + $60 gets you a proper accurate re-bore at a professional engine shop by someone who hopefully knows what they are doing.car5car wrote: I was going to buy this tool and use my drill:

Those hones are really for glaze busting and re-ringing and no where near as accurate and consistent as a bench machine.
Total false economy and a recipe for disaster.
