A new p5 is 250 so it's not really cost effective to put a new piston and sleve on it. I've been wanting to run your engines and this may be a great start for me...What do you think I should do without approaching the cost of a new engine? I like those old p5's just for nestalgic reasons so keeping it operational is desired.....

thanks,
