At what point would it make sense to cut the head off of the cylinder (like a hot saw project) and get the bore plated and honed??
Now you can make a new head to suit your preferences of chamber and squish choices.
Of course the new head would need be built with cooling fins (not the typical round slab of thermal mass thingy) and other considerations of regular running times rather than the few seconds burst of cookie racing.
Fair Bit more work of course (needs to fit under the air shrouding) and it wont be stock appearing anymore.
But if it brings your favorite unit back to service at a more affordable cost?
