  • Should I over-bore 1 size?

    I MIGHT need new pistons, I dont really know cause my ring gap side clearance is really tight.

    PROS:
    little more power
    exhaust will sound better, more like a v8

    CONS:
    less area to bore out to, in case of another internal bottom-end engine failure.
    costs for machining and pistons, and rings
    worse gas mileage maybe


    I think I shouldnt unless I have to

    Dont ever order pistons/ piston rings from the stealership.
    1 piston = $130
    1 set of rings for 1 piston = $65

    When you can order forged/diamon/coated/etc (upgraded better parts) for cheaper!
