Rebuild Question

Hi everyone,

Greetings! I am new to the group and am writing with a question about an Atomic 4 I might buy. The engine came out of a boat from the late 70s. The current owner/seller had it rebuilt via a professional shop but noted that the mechanic determined there was no need for the cylinders to be bored or even honed. I was wondering if someone could tell me if this is possible on such an old engine - that the cylinders would still be in good shape. The current owner/seller seems to have a lot of integrity and put a lot of work into the engine. He consulted Moyer at length for the rebuild which I like. This one point is sort of acting like a splinter in my brain😊. On a diesel, which I have lots of experience with – boring is really the primary task of a rebuild.

Thanks so much for any help or advice the group can give,
Robert
