think so? I know it would be cheaper to do that than oversize this one

Go to the junkyard, get a new engine and freshen the gaskets. Done.

thanks man, will do. was hoping i could save this one haha

pictures of cyl walls? I have never seen anything in the cyl walls that hurt anyone. If the crank/main/rod bearings are in good shape you should be able to reassemble the motor, if you are lucky. I would just let the stock pistons/rings ride it out at this point.. the hone hurt you but its probably not going to show any problems in reality.

I will try to get a picture here soon. I have new bearings and rings ready to go in. the rod bearings looked pretty bad but the mains looked great. I was hoping a quick hone would have knocked the pitting down enough.

You do plan on having the bottom end assembled at a machine shop after they align bore it right? If you don't then you will have a 200-mile miracle on your hands. These engines do NOT last if this is not done. You will end up spinning a bearing and then lower end will be trash.

Also, don't forget that the bolts are TTY and aren't reuseable (other than the crank balancer bolt). Good luck with your build.
