Boring the Stock Bore Question

The stock bore on an LS1 is 3.898" & I can bore it to a 3.905", right? Thanks for any help on this!

It's a 98 block, if it can't go .010 over, where can I find 3.903 pistons/rings? Thanks for the info.

This crap is really irritating about this 98' block!

I stock 3.901, 3.903 and 3.905 in stock stroke with 6.125 rods with .927 pin. The pistons are Mahle flat tops with .080 valve reliefs and lateral gas ports.
