I'm still in the tear down and assessment stage.
I am attaching two images. You can see the wonderful shape the tops of the cylinders were in when I removed the cylinder head.
I have cleaned up one cylinder with a rotary abrasive wheel on my electric drill.
How can I best clean up the cylinder, especially to remove the rust and to enlarge the cylinder diameter enough to allow the piston to move upward?
Is there a boring tool that I can rent? I need to get the engine apart to hot tank it and magnaflux it.
Thanks,
Tom

as far as the head , yes hot tank first, then clean up and check for cracks. the block, probably easiest to push out the sleeves with the pistons in them.then the fun begins.you could try boiling them in used oil in a barrol.you will need acess to a press to press them out.if the sleeves are to pitted you may need to look for some used ones . those can be bored out and a liner installed, but they need to be in the block.lots of diff. options, but money talks.
 
If you can get the crankshaft out of the block they may be able to press out the sleeves along with pistons at your auto machine shop. Soak them with ATF. If you can get them out your can use an acetylene torch to heat the sleeves. Hal
