USMC 500:
Here are the questions.....please don't laugh!!

How do I know if my jug needs to be replated?
How much does it cost to replate?
Is there anywhere to replate in southern California?
Does anyone reading this offer replate services with a window mod piston?

work with me people!! :-D

There is tons of info on this site.  For a quick answer - clean the bore with soap and hot water and wipe dry with a paper towel.  Then inspect with good light if there are any places where the Nikasil has worn through.  Check the thin "bridges" between the ports for cracking.  If it looks good, then take it to a reputable machinist so that he can check it with a bore guage - he can check it for taper/egg wear in the bore.

For the other stuff - check this out.
