Default How do you bore and stroke a motor?
First off i know what they are. Bore is the area the piston will fit in and stroke is the distance it travels. So im not stupid i know my stuff.


Here's the questions i'm gonna ask, (i know this does not exactly pertain to the LS1 bored but it's the busiest and i know you guys are smart)


1. Will i need to get new pistons with a bore'd cylinder wall?

2. Is it in the best interest of the motor to bore and stroke, or is just boring it fine?

3. Can i do it myself? What do machine shops do to bore the motors? Does it have to be precise, OR CAN I DRILL?

Please delete this before you get flamed.

1. Pistons are a certain size, make the hole bigger...You need a bigger piston

2.

3. You cant drill a 4" bore at home. Its precision...

He's trolling us guys. OP, enjoy using your new, expensive 4.025" drill bit.

Do you still wear the same clothes you did as a baby?

2. Is it in the best interest of the motor to bore and stroke, or is just boring it fine?

The best interest of the motor is for you to not touch it.

3. Can i do it myself? What do machine shops do to bore the motors? Does it have to be precise, OR CAN I DRILL?

My mind cannot comprehend that question, so no response...but here's a potato

Everyone's gotta start some where I guess, but saying "I know my stuff" is the icing on the cake lmfao
