3 ways to do this:
1> You can bore to maximum accepted and hope the scoring will vanish.
2> dry sleeves, but that is a hit and miss depending who is doing them
3> Wet sleeves and those have to be done by Steve D. at RED (for maximum success)

Sleeving is not cheap by any means, but MID sleeves are some of the stronguest if properly done. However Evans coolant and proper system is a must.
