If you are not going to race it in competition, just have it bored 20
over, new piston/rings/wrist pin. Make sure the bottom is ok but to do
that properly you'd have to split the case. At that point I would check
the crank journal for runout and replace it if needed. And new bearings
and connecting rod. You gotta do this **** right or it will come back to
bite your ass. I've found that out the hard way.
