[QUOTE="merkyworks, post: 16087582, member: 179203"] Sorry just making sure I understand this correctly cause this goes against what I know about engine rebuilds, admittedly I'm not an expert. I thought if you take pistons out of the bore before you put the same used piston/ring back in the cylinder you need a light hone to get the cross hatch pattern back so the rings can seat properly. Do you still deck the block head surface and what about any slight bore distortion from using head studs ect. I'm not saying this can't work, I really want this to work actually! I would do the same thing to my 2012 shortblock cause I want reliable 800-900 whp and I don't want to mess around with sleeving or have to buy a new aluminum block. :) [/QUOTE]
