Currently, my engine is a stock bore, and if it needs to go to only go to 3.805, I will only go that far. I refuse to bore it as well.I'm still going back and forth if I want to risk the money on 3.805's. For years I've noticed people building engines and refusing to bore them to keep from 'using the block up', I just don't know how many stock bore blocks are still getting built. I don't want to get buried with a set of slug I can't use.
They're $450 for a set of 6. That's pistons, pins, and locks. With rings it varies since 3.8 rings are more expensive than 4.1 rings.
I like the sound of that especially with the rings. Just need to get the block out and check to see what my taper is if its bad.A lot of time people don't realize just how little meat i removed in an overbore. I think the mental image is that 1/4'' swathes of metal is coming out. lol
In your case, if your block will come clean at .005" you're lucky. Plain ole 3.800" file fit rings will still work. and you don't have to pay to have it bored.
Some guys seem to be going around the site and trolling people's comments. They have nothing better to do.How in the world did I receive a bad spelling rating? Hahahaha

20's and 30's is what I would invest in.I'm about to order a bunch of ''common'' sized pistons from my company that's building my 'earlbrown pistons'. I'm thinking some 3.805"s 3.832" and a set of 4.000"s would be a good start...
...thoughts?
My newTA headed setup I'm building is .020 with JE's.
