Default Scratched piston/sleeve reapir

there has been talk about doing piston/sleeve repairs.... I just so happen to repair a fair amount of engines, i basically just stick to working on CRE engines, But I figured I would show how I do some of the repairs....I am not much for describing things, so I will post the pictures and if anyone has any questions feel free to ask.....The engine pictured is a C6 USA...it lost the circlip on the exhaust side and took out the piston and put a healthy scratch on the sleeve... The piston unfortunately is too far gone for repair...But I think the sleeve can be saved.... I will find a used piston in the shop from a Nova/RB of that series and match it to the sleeve, or match the sleeve to the piston..... I can lap the piston smaller, or I can pinc the sleeve smaller..I own the RayA Racing tooling set ........I mainly use a flexi hone in my lathe for cleaning up the sleeve, It does a fantastic job .....
