When I had my non turbo OM617 troubles it worked out cheaper to buy a set of new Kolbenschmidt pistons than it was to have the (dry) liners replaced. I was told after pushing out they need to be bored to size and honed which was expensive in labour costs.

Holland has expensive labour rates. In my case an oversized bore + hone + new pistons worked out to be the cheapest.
