Plan B would be to get the cylinders plated to the correct size and bored for your current pistons. You get to keep your existing cylinders and don't need new pistons. http://www.powersealusa.com/

Oh¡­while you¡¯re in there and have the speedo apart, why don¡¯t you add another roll of numbers on the shaft for when you hit the 200K, 300K, 400K mile marks, it will save you a lot of time later.
