Is there anybody left that does a decent job of boring cylinders? Or is the concensous that it just isn't worth the time and possibilities of donors cylinders being bad?
I talked with Art at ACE and that was his advice which I value. Just wanted to see if there was any other input. If one was to by a set of pistons and cylinders from AA do these have to be checked for various quality concerns? |

Rimco can bore them as can the motorcycle and two stroke machine shops. You can build a torque plate and mount them in the block. Then a regular machine shop can bore them.
