My Lathrop 4 cylinder engine has 2 cylinders that are pitted.I guess I Need oversized pistons if i'm going to bore out this engine and keep it. My engine is a late 50's Lathrop 4 cylinder.Am I out of luck?

Is this engine to be run in a boat? If just a show engine you may want to try it as is with a light honing. Egge auto parts in California does some custom pistons. Sleeving is also an option.
