Don't know ? Any suggestions ? Was wondering would a newer motor like an 1991 or 2000 fit in an 87 frame without and mods ? Cost wise wondering which is more cost effective ?

Cylinder to thin to even hone. Don't know which is cheaper resleeve or replating .  Does'nt have original in it . A magnet will stick to this cylinder . Cold put the old piston in it and run it . Electrode broke off of plug and put a bad nick in top of piston on edge .
