That is pretty much what the machine shop does, except they have a nice jig to hold the piston / rod assembly.

Doug already pmed me about it and I already quoted him a price. I will let you know if he decides he doesn't want it. Sorry about that. I'm in N.E. Utah. I've been out tinkering with snowmobiles so I never looked at the forum. Thanks Mike
