It would seem that the reconditioning of the cylinders is not only possible but the process doesn't seem to be that critical. There has been success with everything from the Sunnen method to scotchbrite by hand. With a few dishwasher only reconditions thrown in for good measure. I just did a re-ring myself for my race car and so far so good. Mine was not that great of a candidate because the pistons fit looser than the proper spec. I had the piston skirts coated to take up the clearance so I'm hopeful that they will continue to work. If they don't I won't be blaming the alusil cylinders however because of the piston clearance issue.
