I am in the process of rebuilding my '97 1100 stx engine (from reading the threads, and the fact that the #3 oil line was completely dry, I think it was starved of oil) and am not versed in the world of cylinder boring.
1. What critical info do I need to know when I go to the shop?
2. What needs to be installed on the block when I take it to get bored?
3. Are there any options other than boring to consider?
I am also searching for new pistons and cannot make a decision on which brand, composition, etc. to go with. Any advice is greatly appreciated as this is my first try at rebuilding a jet ski engine. Also are their any upgrades I should think about while I have everything apart that will extend the life and fun (read performance) of my jet ski? Thanks in advance.
