Should I or Shouldn't I...pistons and cylinders?, Can of worms? Options

[computers4kids]

I pulled apart my spare 75 2ltr down to the block (didn't split the case) that I'm planning on putting in my 75 project car. I also pulled the heads. My intentions was just to clean it up, do a visual inspection on the heads and re-seal the motor. I was going to take the heads down to our local machine shop to have them cleaned and if necessary a valve job.

I'm looking for some advice on whether I should remove the pistons, have the cylinders honed and new rings installed? Is this worth doing on these type of motors...or do most just buy a cylinder and piston kit?

Looking at all the kits available make me wonder whether to go with the stock 94s or a big bore kit. I see Jake sells a stock Mahle kit for $284 and the big bore kits are between 3 and 4 hundred elsewhere. I have both stock injection and weber 40s...probably go with carbs. I don't want to split the case to replace the cam.

So what do you think? (you can tell from my questions, I'm not much of a mechanic...but I like doing things for myself)

You pull the rods out through the side of the case. Just have to be careful not to drop the used rod nuts into the sum. If you do, it becomes "interesting". New nuts, new bearings, and you're back in business.

Which car was it? The copper metallic one?
