Can you get oversize pistons for that compressor ??
I know that Sears Parts is still in business.
If this compressor is like the ones I have had, the pump runs at maybe
1000 rpm. So you need a reasonable bore job, a good piston with
reasonable clearance and rings with some tension. This compressor
won't be doing 7000 rpm like Andy's motorcycle ... its pretty low tech.
Just an FYI - Harbor Freight sells entirely new pumps for not much as
well. Something to think about.
Although this rebore might be more of a challenge than an economic need,
and I can understand that as well. :-)

1. Are you talking about honing the cylinder before inserting the
sleeve?
Honing the hole for the sleeve was part of my plan just because I'm
comfortable with getting the size spot-on with a hone rather than a
boring head. Honing the sleeve ID I feel is required to remove the
fractured material zone and to get the proper size. My plan could
easily change. I think this air compressor application would be a lot
less demanding than for an engine.
