As long as the cylinder walls aren't scored too bad, you can hone and re-ring your motor yourself. I use the spring loaded 3-stone hone first and finish off with a ball hone. You may also want to mic the cylinder bores to make sure they are true, this checks the cylinder diameter throughout to sleeve.
