Yes know of it being done quite frequently. Usually by after market engine reworkers. The original manufacturers do not get involved. The process involves stripping the old chrome off, re-chroming and then honing. It will have to be honed to suit the existing piston.

By the time you have found people to do all this and paid their rates it is probably cheaper to buy a new piston and liner.

Ed and Chuck,
you pilots are probably right about the price-but I got to try right ? Plus I can go to the NAPA auto parts store and buy a small brake cylinder hone.............
