help with the rebuild of top end

ok i'm going to bite the bullet and replace complete top end {
Mag cylinder burnt hole in it) like to know about boring or honing cylinders..
also is it ok to remove all three cylinders at once....heard this wasn't a good thing to do
something with the bolts for crankcase....looks like maybe it's been sleeved....
how can you tell......does anyone know a local shop to bore cylinder and supply new topend kit
..i'm 45mile nw of tampa,fl
i'm a newbie to this
thanks for all and any input

Re: PLEASE help with rebuild of virage tx...........

I am fairly new to this as well, I have rebuilt 2 engines now, from the book. Best thing is to have a shop look after your boring/honing needs, they have all the necessary tools. I don't know much about removing all three cylinders at the same time, I have and had no problems, just be sure to follow the book and use the proper sealants and bolt torque and patterns. Lots of lube for re-assembly. Pretty straight forward. Just when installing the cylinders make sure to install the exhaust manifold be for tightening the cylinders down. This way they will be aligned properly after tightening.
