[QUOTE="spanky250, post: 131627, member: 20897"] The dealer isn't exactly lieing to you, they just aren't telling you the entire truth. Your cylinder can't be bored in the traditional sense, like a steel sleeve can be bored and fitted to an oversized piston, but it can be rewelded to repair damage, and replated to the stock bore size, or you can go with a big-bore kit. A big bore kit consists of machining the cylinder casting to the dimensions of a larger piston, and replating the cylinder to the correct bore size for that larger piston. Basically, there is not very much that can prevent a cylinder from being repaired by some method. One of the few reasons that can prevent you from repairing it is if the valve pockets are worn out or damaged, and even that can usually be repaired for a price. Even cracks can be welded, and the cylinder replated afterwards. smb does have a point, though, a cylinder can not be repaired an infinite number of times. If a cylinder is truly too damaged to be replated, sleeving is still a viable option, although a poor one in my opinion, a route I would choose only if the only other option was to shell out $500 smackers for a new cylinder.
