Bore Question

[Tament]

I just blew my rear piston, the ring failed, killed the piston and the head, replacing head with new $150, when boring the cylinder, as the rear has scores from the failed ring, do I just bore that one cylinder to fit the new piston, or do I need to do a complete top end rebuild. I just priced doing one piston at approximately, $314.00 give or take a few bucks (new piston, ring, circle clips and piston pin $105, and then to get the cylinder bored, the rest). I can get a complete top end from SBT at $475.00. Give me some advice as to what you think, everything welcomed, especially past experiences.

Thanks.

The pistons should be the same size to produce the same BTU of power, do the top end meaning both.

Get on e-bay and get a wsm top end kit for $180. You should be able to get the cylinders bored for around $100. A few hours of labor and your in business.

This is exactly what I am doing, except my cylinders are still good so I'm just having them bored/honed.
