whats the right thing to do???

What should I do?

I have a brand new honed cylinder set up for a 67mm piston.
My piston is scarred up but you can hardly feel them....
I can either re-ring or slap a new piston on....

If i just re-ring, i run the risk of have pre-detonation due to the scars....but i dont really have the money to buy a new piston ......

You really should buy a new piston, but as long and the scars are really bad you might be alright just re-ringing it, I would try and clean it up a little bit with some emery cloth or something.

short cuts lead nowhere but trouble dude. I know how you feel about spending the dough. you just want to get it running. but wait and buy a new piston. you can find weisco kit's for like 80 bucks sometimes on ebay.

Your right, if i dont do it right the first time, i have to spend the extra $60 for a new bore and hone! New piston it is.

While im at it, im gonna order some stuff that was on my wish list....

Yeah, hopefully those spacers aren't too terribly expensive? Maybe 2 bucks a piece...
