Rebore or new block

Is there any problems with reboring a block or would I be better off with a new short block

New is ALWAYS better, but more expensive.
Rebored, rebuilt always works just fine 99% of the time.
Pick whatever you are comfortable with.

bore it as long as it doesn't need to go too far. 0.10 or 0.20 if no problem at all. I am certain 0.30 would fine as well.

No sleeve in these engine. I wish though!
