I have an early 50s B and the front piston was stuck, water in it of course, it didnt take much however to loosen it up. I took the piston out and cleaned up the cyl. and noticed small rust pits about 2 inch down from the top of the block into the cyl. wall. Question is this, is this something that can be honed out and if so can I still use the stock piston and rings? Its the front cyl. and all the others look great so Im really not wanting to put a complete set in. If I cant hone it all out is my only option another sleeve and can I purchase just one? Will minor pitting cause me some problems down the road if I hone it good and go with it?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Ken
