Because this has been done some time in the recent past by a PO -I had Ed at
the bug shop to mic the pistons and sleeves and he said there is no need to
replace these components as there is very little wear, which I had assumed
as there was no ridge at the top of the cylinders. The rings were replaced
this summer because the last PO broke one during a head rebuild and had to
replace the set.
