When my block was being bored .030 over the machine shop waited until I got my pistons before they did it so they could finish hone according to the piston size. If I'm going to reuse the same bore size (still looks pretty new)
but with different pistons (also probably different brand) do I need to remachine the block?
Is there enough difference in pistons to cause a problem?
I am switching from dove heads to scj, currently using probe pistons, not sure yet what the next ones will be.
question 2: are the rods measured center to center or end to end?
I haven't been able to find my reciepts with part numbers and for some reason I think I remember having 6.7" rods but with a 4.3" stroke crank. From what I can tell most everyone else uses 6.7's on a 4.5" crank and 6.8's on the 4.3, so I'm either going to need custom pistons or new rods and pistons.
I may have to wait till fall to take them out and measure to be sure.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
