Some crazy how I have a collection of 2x 4 sets of 94mm cylinders from two liter engines that I had intended to bore to 96mm. It has been too long for me to remember why but the machinist rejected them for use. I want to say because they had been bored too many times already.

Can someone ease my conscience and say, "Marcus, just recycle them and move on with your life." Or do bored out 94mm cylinders have any other uses over their life cycle in bigger bore applications?

I just want to verify that I'm not wasting a resource.

Thanks.
