Porting sleeves that have lost their pinch is useless unless you're just using them to practice porting.

Well, $20 is almost 1/2 way to a new p/s set. $45 BIN on e-bay and even less if you want to buy it through an auction. And then you get completely new parts, including the piston. To me the $20 to redo 1/2 of a worn out part combination seems penny wise and pound foolish. Besides, I'm not completely convinced pinching is worthwhile at all.

I've never tryed them so I don't know if it works, but new sleeves for a trx engine are like $60! Mabye not off ebay, but ebay gets you w/ the shipping...so for 1/3 of the price and a practically new engine hmmmm, sounds good to me
