If I was going fix this motor, I'd work on freshening both cylinders/pistons /rings. my 2 cents worth

If I was doing this myself, I'd just swap engines...done that before and it's pretty simple. But since the bike is almost 200 miles from my garage, I'm letting this mechanic make most of the calls. I know him, and he knows his stuff better than any other mechanic I've met.I know it'll be more expensive, but I'll feel better knowing he built it vs a used engine. Just spoke to him again on the phone, he'll be honing both cylinders tomorrow. Then we'll know if stock pistons will fit, or if we'll need oversized pistons or new sleeves. So that will basically determine if it's even possible to reuse the left piston.
