Boring or sleeving?

I have a NA 944 block, one cylinder is damaged...about a 1mm scratch. What are my best options? and can i go to 102mm? or should I resleeve?

Probably easier to just get another block...the bore can be re-done by a few companies around the US.

You can get it replated in nikasil from a few different companies. Will require nikasil-friendly pistons though. Cheapest option is sourcing a good condition used block.
