Well, I've got a motor in pieces in my garage right now:
STi block w/ minor (to my untrained eye) scoring on #1 and #3 cylinder, 100mm JE coated pistons (look undamaged to me), stock rods #3 w/ a melted bearing, crank that needs polishing on the #3 rod.
I think I need the cylinders honed (don't want to bore it again 'cause I want to use my current pistons), new rings, new rod and crank bearings, polishing on the crank, and assembly of the short block with a JDM oil pump.
If the cylinders are too banged up, I wonder if I should sleeve them at 100mm, or just bore again (I'm concerned about breaking the rules if I do that since the motor is too large) and pony up for another set of forged pistons.
You think AIMS would be willing to work on a motor that's coming to them in a box? Most places don't want to work on a motor if they're not the ones to take it apart.
