OK, 94' XR 100 (as always) the engine is tore out and some parts like the cam and jets need to be replaced, or i could get a 115 big bore kit. what do you think would be cheaper?
I'll try to get everything needed added on soon! (i just need to know whats
and
)

Cam shouldn't be changed with a big bore kit. Jets are from the carb, and will need to be changed if you do big bore it.

If the cam needs replaced now it will still need replaced with a big bore kit. If you bore it you will at least need to rejet if not go to a bigger carb. Maybe need a new pipe, too.
If the cam is shot now you may want to check the head and valves for damage too.

OK, we need a new piston, conecting rod, and yes a new head! Along with the cam, maybe not the jets. the story behind it is i just today got it free from a neighbor and some of his buddies ran it out of oil
so we got a freeby. we wonder if we should go for the big bore or replce it stock price wise.

If it ran without oil long enough to wipe out the top-end, chances are more than good it also ate up the bottom-end. I would have a very good look at the con-rod and crankshaft bearings, as well as the con-rod journal.
No sense in throwing all that money at a top-end unless the bottom-end is sound as well.
