BORING A GSR OVER QUESTIONS>>>> HELP

Yes there is a standard size. Honda is one of the few companies that will take the standard size and then make a few sizes each direction from it. The honda Green is the standard size for a honda. You can run all standard if you like but you need to measure the given clearance accurately to make sure that the standard size in going to be within usable limits. Thank You.

To measure accurately, you need a micrometer and a bore gauge. Micrometer at the very least...you can measure a bore with a micrometer but you have to find the smallest and largest numbers depending on whether its a journal or a bearing end. I've done this and measured accurately even though its not recommended.

Plastigauge will only yield an estimate, its worse IMO than using just a micrometer.

Thank you Spoolin for schooling these kids...I was having a panic attack reading this thread. OP, if you need all your stuff measured just lmk. FYI, engine builders call this blue printing just so they can charge you for it, they really arent doing anything extra. I'd also recomend having the rotating assembly balanced, and if possible not using 82mm unless your block is already at 81.5mm. Just incase you blow it up later your block will be able to be re-bored to 82 and you wont have to find another one. IIRC 82mm is the safe limit...could be wrong on that though

how much to measure all that?? and do you only need to look at the rods?

^ Yup

thanks
