........and if you screw up just once then you're going to be spending money either on new pistons or having somone do the rest for you.
I think the extra $65-100 is well worth having a machine shop do it especially if you're reluctant to begin with.
If this was the type of thing you did everyday then I would say "sure, go ahead and do it"
Like they say: "Speed is expensive!!"
