Message: [QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1243942, member: 68872"] Not all cylinders are plated. It has become common on the newer models, especially in the larger engines. On the plated cylinders, the plating is very thin. If the cylinder has been scored then re-plating may not be enough to fix the gouge. In this case the cylinder would need to be bored out and then plated. If the cylinder has been bored out as far as it can go then they insert a sleeve inside, which then gets bored to size and then plated. Rod [/QUOTE]
