I know that some will disagree with me on this one, but I figured I would throw in my opinion. I just got done refreshing my motor. I pulled it cus it was burning oil really bad in one cylinder. I knew it wasn't heads as I had just put new ones one, and it was still fouling plugs like you wouldn't believe. I pulled the motor out, tore it down. Took the block into the machine shop with a piston or 2. They checked out the tolerances, and said it was still in spec so I didn't need a bore. I had them clean the block, hone the cylinders, new cam bearings, freeze plugs. Cost somewhere around 150 or so. (Price will change with area) Then I got a new set of rings, bearings, gaskets, etc. Put it back together and everything is going ok so far. I can't really comment as to if I really fixed the problem or not, as I only started it a week ago and have only put on about 30 miles or so. The rings have seated and it doesn't seem to be smoking like it was before, so I think that I helped. I need to get some more miles on it before I can really say for sure.
