Default Topend rebuild

Prob gonna go ahead and rebuild topend on the 85 marathon .found out this morning after talking with the owner they found out it was ran for a few days with regular unmixed gas .thinking that would explain the loss of power.
Are there any big bore kits or should I just look for the factory replacement?
Best place to buy ?

Thanks and sorry for all the posts, I have been working on small engines along time but new to golf carts .

Here is one option.

There are also oversize pistons. What they call .50 over is actually half of a millimeter.

Well got home today and it won't run at all . The son said he just backed it off trailer and it started loosing power . Ran last night. It is turning over but don't seem like it is starting now (It did for just a min at first when I got here ) won't even turn back wheels with them off the ground . Seems louder also. It has spark , sprayed starter fluid in carb , fuel pump is pumping .
Guess gonna get a compression tester on it and see what I can come up with.
Seems like get one thing straight and something else for wrong . This free job I am doin for that old guy with cancer is starting to bite me in the butt .

Figured out the problem , noticed when I tried to start it that smoke was coming from behind the shroud on front of motor . Removed the 4 bolts and took a look while cranking it over . All the air and smoke is coming from what looks like between the head and the jug . Looks like motor will be pulled tomorrow to see what all I need. If the head cracked where can I order a new one?
Guess this all is from that big backfire the other night.
