I'm going to call the machine shop tomorrow and see what they say. AFAIK it looks like it can be bored out, but I'm not super sure on that.
Bores are probably fine. You're talking about aluminum pistons fighting with iron bores. Do the .2mm overbore OEM rebuild pistons!
Save some parts for me to look at. I won't be able to look at it until next week.
