i know that this has bean talked about allot but know one has side in the threads what indicates a need for boring when is honing not enuff and is burning oil a reason to bore or is there really no knowing until you open it up and when its open how do you know with out sending it off

If you have a Clymer manual it tells you the specs for limits of cylinder diameter. If its out of those specs its time to bore.

From what i know burning oil is 2 things either your valve seals are going or your rings are going. You can replace rings without the need to bore the cylinder. When you take the jug off you will need to take a few measurements with a bore gauge. If its out of specs then you need to bore if within then just replace rings and a quick hone and you should be good
