I continue to see numerous questions about boring cylinders on this ( and other ) forums . Seems like the answer is always the same. “ Take it to the local machine shop and have them measure the cylinder and bore it out”. I'm not implying that this is a bad answer but I do have a few questions for people that have done this.
1.What are they charging you for this service? Please don't mention names of shops. I'm just curious about the price.
2.Do they let you supply your own parts? If not, what are they charging for a top end kit? ( piston, gaskets and top end bearing).
3.What type of shops are they? Basic machine shops, Automotive shops, Dealers, motorcycle engine builders.
I see these services offered on Ebay for $139 - $179. The local automotive shop by me charges $75 for a bore and hone and will let you supply the parts. The local dealer charges $85 and you have to get parts from him. Local Harley shop charges $110 and you also have to buy from him.
Thanks
