  Whomever you have do the work, make sure they bore for the 
proper piston to cylinder clearance.  Most shops want to leave 
you with much more than the .001 specified clearance.  When 
about .0025 clearance is wear limit, you don't want any more 
to start than you need!
  I had to argue with the shop that did my last one or two.  They 
wanted to bore it with almost .002 clearance and refused to do 
.001 until I showed them in black and white!
