Greg, do those cylinders separate from the crankcase? If so with your big summit lathe I'd make up a jig to hold them on the cross slide and bore'em with a bar between headstock and tailstock. Using the knee lift on the mill would require a lot of cranking and it would be hard to keep the feed steady. Does your power knee lift go slow enough for a "feed"?
I hesitate to suggest this but would a shop equipped with Sunnen (or the like boring equipment) charge an arm and a leg?
I know, shudap Steve, Greg can do it better than a commercial shop.
