    Give Ebay a try, that's where i bought mine. Mine is a 240 but my barrel was shagged so i tracked down a 85 wrx 250 with piston, still on standard ring.

    Any competent mechanic can replace the sleeve in the cylinder. They need to find the right sleeve for it. If Steve at www.huskydoggg.com does not have the sleeve you can try one of our sponsors www.hva-factory.com You can inquire at LA Sleeve. They can replicate the existing porting in your cylinder and install but that is really a last resort in vintage world. You always try to buy a part before you have one made because of the cost.

    In what respect does the 85 cylinder not match your 86 cylinder? If it is merely porting, I would at least try it. If it is an air-cooled cylinder then you at least have a cylinder liner donor As far as splitting the cases, you can do that yourself with some basic tools and carefully application of pullers. You can download a shop manual from HVA-Factory if needed
