Larry,

That's exactly the kind of anecdote I need to figure out what is "best". I
have already had the lower end completely overhauled by AEA. Very satisfied
and there was no question in my mind about having the overhaul done. But
with cylinders I hear they can be rebuilt. I guess what I am wondering is
the adds for $295 for an overhaul with the caviat about costs for additional
parts. So I can expect to pay considerable more than the $295 as I would be
getting new exhaust valves. I figure new cylinders for my engine would be
$800-1200 each if the rebuild is pushing that amount then new sounds like
the way to go but if typical rebuilts run $400-600 then rebuilts would be
the way to go. I guess the best way to find out is to send a cylinder to a
shop and get an estimate. Thanks for your input. Others?
