RE: Depends on the miles and oil changes By RC Moser - 09/07/2001 5:41:53 AM; IP 152.163.206.211 If you have any ridge (worn bores not carbon) ( and you can probably bet the pistons are worn also) at the top I'd overbore and get new pistons. More clearance mean quicker the engine returns to the previous state. If you want a real stout engine match bore each piston to bore for minimun clearance. The rehoning and rering is usually only done to freshen up a engine that's has minimal clearance between the piston and bore (like and the end of a race season and after every thing was measured and compared to the previous measurements). Honing usually only removes .0002 to .0004 of metal if that, at least that's about all I could measure. Maybe you get some more opinions

This thread, so far...
