[QUOTE="Blkkbgt, post: 16936392, member: 117234"] The only thing I have to add is don't instantly jump to .020 over pistons. Have the bores measured and see if you actually need to go that far. More meat in the cylinders is seldom if ever a bad idea. Something I've learned over the years of getting ****ed by machine shops is run away from anyone who instantly says you have bore the cylinders 20 or 30 over and won't even measure for taper before. If the bores are straight and have little to no taper you can often get away with a .005 cleanup and a custom piston. This is usually a sign of a bad shop with bad equipment and they want room for error because they aren't getting or able to get consistent bores. [/QUOTE]
