yeah but thats not an option AK
so a freshly built engine is the best option
what would it be bored to?
1389cc is standard will it just stay like that? or go upto 1400?

so why did you say its getting bored out? You cant stay the same size.... nothing will get 'bored out' then 
78.5mm bore / pistons will give 1421 CC's
