Default Piston Replacement on 1.60 FX

I posed this question to Bax in the O.S. forum too, but I thought I might give this one a try also.


Can I just install a new piston and ring without replacing the cylinder liner?

My cylinder is in pretty good shape, however my piston is scored(used engine,never again ).
Anyway, my thought was to just use a BB style brake cylinder hone or a homemade flap wheel to just "break the glaze" in the cylinder.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
