Re: 350 tpi build

the only reason for boring is to make the cylinder surface new. if there is little cylinder wear or grooves just hone it, but if there is little or no wear i would leave it alone.

Re: 350 tpi build

so do you think a cheap 300$ rebuild kit from summit would be good? and without doing alot to the bottom end should i just maybe get a cam and some nice rockers and springs to just give it a little extra kick?

yes. make sure the cam is ok for injected engines. you may want to hone and re-ring if you want to make more power.
