oh, well if thats the case i hope you are an experienced machinist who has sleeved and bored cylinders before, cause other wise you cant
Yep, they bore them paper thin and chip them out, then the jug is honed to have the cylinder PRESS fit to .003"-.004", then when it's CLEAN!!! the jug is heated (HOT!!!) and the sleave is chilled (FROZEN!) and they are pressed together and as the temps equalize the press fit holds it all in place.
not really a DIY type thing and this is coming from a guy who considers almost anything DIY including most dental and some medical procedures.
i have rebuilt a few engines before and i do almost all my own work on anything i own and im here to tell you. thats a job for a machine shop.

ya thats exactly right...i would take it to a shop because its gonna be easier and cheaper that way than it would to buy an all new top end if you ended up screwing something up
yup, you need to have it bored over at a machine shop. you dont need a new sleeve. just by a bigger piston(say, maybe .010 over) and have the machine shop bore the cylinder for that piston.
if the scoring is very deep, just look for a new cylinder from ebay... your head will fit it. you can probably find one pretty cheap.
if you do buy a new or used jug, go to a machine shop and let them hone it for you.
