Just IMO, but oversized pistons cost the same as stock size. Boring it out for any of the machinists I've talked to are a miniscule cost increase compared to just a hone.

When I get around to doing my engine, I'll be doing 40 over because it does not add substantially to the cost. But YMMV.

Well I might be able to get a good deal on boring (free) if I do decide to do it. One of my good friends works at his brothers race shop and his brother is going to thailand on the 27th for a few weeks....So i will just so happen to bring it in then, while my buddy is running the shop=)
