This isn't rocket science.
Right. Easy peasy.
The engine had only 280 hours so there is no wear, just rust damage.
The pistons are in "like new" condition after cleaning and i plan to keep them and replace the liners and rings. seems to be an easier and probably less expensive way to go considering i did not find any shops around i would trust with boring the existing liners and trying to find larger pistons that will fit properly.
