There's a company called LA Sleeve. Wish I had more contact info for you.
Maybe someone else can help.
According to my (second hand) info, you send your jugs to them, they send
them back; good as new.

Subject: Re: [F500] rotax 493 on ebay
Jim,
So if I get a raggedy 494, I need to buy a pair of the sleeves that
Dennis Kirk sells for around $90 each, then pay to have them installed
by a machine shop, then bored and honed to the correct "standard" bore.
So basically about $400 to have the 2 cylinders ready for new pistons. I
guess that is still cheaper than the $1000 a new pair of cylinders would
cost? Have I missed anything? Remember, I am still a virgin when it
comes to the Rotax stuff. With Kawasaki you just buy a new pair of cyls
for $150, no machining at all.

Well, that engine wasn't perfect. I needed new pistons and liners since
it
had Wiseco's and a two step overbore. Just so happens that Tony had a
sale on
those parts not so long ago...
Double that price or just a bit more, you can
find them complete. Just call Greg O.
On the 494, only the first factory
overbore is allowed, so if you need more, it is time to resleeve.
You won't
regret going to the 494. Rock solid, problem free engines.
