hi, i have a guy doing a top end rebuild to my 02 rancher es. he is boring it out and changing the vale seals. i was wondering, is it a good idea to bore it. i heard alot of bad things about boring the ranchers. it smoked like crazy when i droped it off to him, he said either bore it or replace cylinder. i dont really want to replace the cylinder due to the high cost. thanks,

Boring is fine as long as it's done right. I don't like to bore the cylinder to the limits that it can be bored, though. The thicker the cylinder walls are, the better the heat dissipates.

thanks for the fast reply. thats what he told me. if its done right, it will be fine. es not boring it to the max, i do know that
