I want to rebuild my current engine as its number matches the firewall date. It has been previously bored out to .060 oversized. However it has two cylinders that are sloppy. I have bored it out to .080 and it still has marks in the bore. Would you bore it out more or put cylinder sleeves in the cylinder and go back to standard? I am worried about overheating problems. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
