When you bore a block .030 over aren't .030 over pistons something you got to have also?

 

[cocobolo95]

Yes you will need 0.030 over pistons and rings to match.

 

[BrettLT1]

alright. thanks buddy

 

[Racy Roadmaster]

The way that it should be done is to have the cylinder bores sized to the pistons so you get the proper piston to wall clearance. ed

 

[BrettLT1]

ok. I got a .030 over block and .030 mahle pistons.

What are you building or putting together?

 

[Racy Roadmaster]

You will need to know what type of pistons that you have, cast,forged or
hyperutic, sp,once the piston type is known,then you can determine the proper piston to wall clearances.If you
dont get the piston to wall clearances correct you will have a very sloppy motor. ed
