yea, I did talk to yo taday Mike, and I think I am going to have to just bite the bullet like you said. What i'll have to do is get a machine shop to measure it, bore and hones it AGAIN, and then measure again, as well. Then i'll get the larger pistons and oem rings.

I've come this far, I would hate to have done all this work, just to have the motor smoke.

Does anyone know of a good shop close to gwinnett. I know I initially went to lawrenceville auto parts, but they had a 4 week waiting list.
