Hello,<br />I have a 1986 DT200 Suzuki, and one of the pistons has a hole in it. The other pistons and cylinders look good, but the compression in the other 5 cylinders range from 70lbs to 105lbs. <br />Which scenario should I choose? Is one better than the other? Will Scenario 1 work for a while until I can purchase a new engine? Thanks! <br /><br />Here's the scenarios:<br />Scenario 1: (hopefully all cylinders equal displacement)<br />1. Have the bad cylinder bored and sleeved <br />2. Replace bad piston w/oem piston<br />3. Hone the remaining cylinders (as they are not scored and pistons still good) <br />4. replace rings in all pistons<br /><br />Scenario 2: (all pistons equal displacement)<br />1. discard all pistons<br />2. bore and hone all cylinders (no sleeves)<br />3. install brand new oversized pistons in all 6 cylinders<br /><br />Scenario 3: (one piston w/more displacement)<br />1. discard only the bad piston<br />2. bore the scored cylinder<br />3. hone all cylinders<br />4. install new rings on old pistons<br />5. install oversized piston and rings in newly bored cylinder.<br /><br />I would like to do either scenario 1 or 3, but I was told that scenario 2 was the best method. wanted to verify with 2nd or third opinion. I have seen recommendations online in the direction of 1 and 3.<br /><br />Also, does anyone have any recommendations on a good machine shop that's reasonably priced to whom I can send the block to have the work done.<br /><br />Thanks for any help!!!
