By "but require pulling" I assume you talking about the cylinder sleeve?
The sleeve that petecooke has installed right now should have an inside diameter of about 90.9mm + wear, given that it is still STD and has no other damage.
If petecooke buys the $55 piston he has to enlarge the cylinder bore to about 91.7mm.
This will give him a straight round cylinder with a new cross hatch surface.
Combined with a new piston and new rings one of the best ways to go.
If he installs a new sleeve he has to press the old one out and then the new one in.
The sleeve will perturb above the blocks parting surface and has to be cut even with the block somehow.
After installation the bore will be about 90mm.
He has to remove 1.7mm to make the new piston fit.
The end result will be the same then just honing the old sleeve to 91.7mm.
Why do you need a new sleeve?
