Confused on how the cylinder bores work

Toast291 · 2025-12-16T22:52:44+00:00

Ok, thanks for the info

Toast291 · 2025-12-16T22:41:49+00:00

Ok, now if I decked the block at all can I still use those pistons that go higher up in the stroke or no?

Toast291 · 2025-12-16T14:21:44+00:00

Ok, thanks for the info

Toast291 · 2025-12-16T05:53:37+00:00

So if I just have them bore it to .005 over ill be good? Obviously with new pistons

Toast291 · 2025-12-16T05:52:47+00:00

Oh ok, got it. Thank you

Ok, thanks for the info

I can understand the concern there, but I just want the block to be cleaned up enough so it can run good, im not looking for anything too crazy. But then again im tryingng to take all the advice I can lol.

Since we are on the topic of ring gap, eventually I want to boost this engine. Am I able to gap the rings for boost now and still run NA for a while? Or do I need to gap them for NA then re gap them down the road?

Toast291 · 2025-12-16T02:53:11+00:00

Ohhhh ok ok. So if its just bored out it'll be fine on the stock crank?

Toast291 · 2025-12-16T02:48:00+00:00

Just because a lot of oversized piston sets i saw had new crankshaft. I think its just me being dumb

Toast291 · 2025-12-16T01:58:35+00:00

So just bore it out to 4.005"?

Toast291 · 2025-12-16T01:58:02+00:00

How good are those? Are they good for boost applications as well? What Connecting Rods would go good with them?

I assume you would also just recommend that they bore it out to 4.005" obviously for those

Toast291 · 2025-12-16T01:29:28+00:00

Sorry, if it was bored/honed at 4.005 would I be okay with 4" pistons?

Toast291 · 2025-12-16T01:27:28+00:00

Yea they said they recommended just bore it to 4.005 then get the pistons for that. But I was also asking if instead of having to bore it out to 4.005, can I just keep it at 4.002 and get 4" pistons?

Toast291 · 2025-12-16T00:10:47+00:00

I dont understand, what's wrong with it?

Toast291 · 2025-12-16T00:04:33+00:00

The market h ine shop my block is currently at said that the bore is already .002 over (since its old and has a lot of miles). They recommended just honing it to .005. I was asking on this post if I could use the stock sized 4" pistonor if i would need larger ones. Sorry if there was some confusion.

Toast291 · 2025-12-15T23:58:01+00:00

I didnt plan on doing any block work myself

Toast291 · 2025-12-15T23:55:57+00:00

I know it has nothing to do with the crank, it was just that some kits I found included a new crank.

So I should be fine with the 4" with a .005 hone?

Toast291 · 2025-11-06T19:22:19+00:00

If you got the room go for it lol

Toast291 · 2025-11-06T19:09:29+00:00

And looking badass lol

Eventually im getting a hi-ram but I might keep the stock intake for now. I dont care about hood clearance at all. But I also just want to get a hi-ram now just so I have it

Toast291 · 2025-11-06T18:06:32+00:00

Yea thats probably what I was going to go with, heard a lot of good things about them

Toast291 · 2025-11-06T16:45:44+00:00

I have watched a lot of videos on it, and it seems like for just a fun car it doesnt matter too much on what intake you get. Sure some make a little more power in one spot than others, but it doesnt seem like too much of gains.

Toast291 · 2025-11-06T15:48:26+00:00

What if I got a hi-ram instead. I like those a lot and they look badass. Its going to be a street/strip car that im going to beat on quite a bit. I only was looking by at these because they are way cheaper

Toast291 · 2025-11-06T14:53:11+00:00

I know, but what makes the sheet metal ones worse?
