If you're going to get new pistons, rods, etc. It's always best to bore, clean and replace bolts or studs, etc. That's what I did. When I had the engine apart the last time, it still looked brand new after 10k mi.
sweet... just another reason to overbore... I was going to origanaly but I didnt think I'd be able to come up with the money... but now I can and I have a reason to lol

Last night I replaced my wastegate. It went pretty smooth except I couldn't get the o ring that holds the actuator rod back on. Is it possible without taking off the whole turbo assembly?
For now I used a wire and put a blob of high heat silicone to keep the rod from sliding off which seems to be working just fine.

i think its like 40 bucks or less each cylinder..
I could never do mine unless I took out the whole thing. I tried doing that once - did not end well. lol
I hope it is man, but the only place aroun here that can bore out a motor is Ron Patterson, ol Prostock Champ, so he over charges for everything...

I dont mind seatbelts at all mansaved my life once.
well they may have saved my life once, but they also tried to kill me, by creating internal bruising and bleeding due to trauma... had to have surgery from the seatbelt not the wreck lol...
