Rebore one pot only?

[Ameer Antar]

no one will sell you a single oversize piston. it affects the balance of 
the engine since one piston will be slightly heavier and not move w/ the 
same force as the rest. That bore will have more volume and affect the 
compression ratio. These are all minute problems, but an engine can destroy 
itself down the road. Your Audi engine was built and designed w/ fine 
tolerances which is why many of their engines last so long. No competent 
machine shop will bore only one cylinder. They all must be done, b/c the 
savings is negligible, esp. compared to engine rebuilding.
