Ray - I would suggest you disassemble the MC and inspect the bore. If it's not rust pitted, it's relatively easy to hone and install a rebuild kit, which are readily available. If you have pitting, the right way to rebuild is to have it sleeved (if you don't have the ability to do that yourself). This allows you to save/reuse your existing MC (now or later).

If your needing it sooner than later, I would go with Otto's suggestion to buy a new one. Then at your leisure you can decide what to do with the old one.
