I drove my 2024 Classic 350 Reborn into water (I have realised that it was a stupid thing to do) and damaged the engine.

The official service center quoted ₹46K and asked for 20–25 days of waiting time (after keeping the bike for 10 days). I decided not to go ahead with them, paid ₹2,306 for the diagnostic/reassembly charges, and brought the bike to a local engine mechanic.

He gave an initial estimate under ₹20K and will be opening the engine today.
The mechanic mentioned the possibility of using a lathe.

I don't have technical knowledge about motorcycles and want to know what to expect:

Is a damaged cylinder sleeve like this something that can/should be repaired on a lathe, or does it require a full replacement?

How easily available are these parts in the market?

What is a realistic cost for the parts and the overall repair job?

Any advice on what I should ask the mechanic before they start would be really helpful.

Guys I am using a 2026 Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 VXI, and I am not satisfied with the amount of light produced by the stock halogen headlamps of 55 watt. Since the Alto K10 does not have a factory fog-lamp provision in my variant, and its headlamp uses a reflector-type housing rather than a projector setup, I am considering replacing the stock halogen bulbs with higher-wattage 90/100W halogen bulbs instead of LED bulbs, because I feel that halogen light would be more suitable for foggy conditions. However, I am concerned about whether using 90/100W bulbs could generate excessive heat and damage or melt the reflector housing, reflective coating, bulb socket, wiring, or other components of the headlamp assembly, as I have seen people discussing this issue on YouTube. I would therefore like to know whether installing 90/100W halogen bulbs in the Alto K10's existing reflector-type headlamp is technically safe, and if it is possible to install them safely, what precautions should be taken regarding the installation of the bulb. I would also like to know whether such a 90/100W halogen setup is legally permitted in India under the applicable Central Motor Vehicle Rules, or not. If 90/100W bulbs are not advisable or legal, please suggest the safest way to improve the Alto K10's headlight performance while retaining halogen bulbs rather than converting to LED.
