Hi Bob, there is always 2 ways of doing things. Doing it once and doing it right...or, doing a bodgey job.
Our moderators here try to give the correct advice using good workshop practice, so that a successful repair or restoration will be completed as an end result.
It all depends on what the member is trying to achieve.....a successful repair, or one that is cheap and give heaps of trouble.
In my own opinion, I would re-bore that barrel and fit an new oversize piston and rings....failing that, I'd scrap it.
But that's me!
