Matching cylinder bore to combustion chamber bore... Hey guys, while I am considering going for the PP LS6 style heads down the road, and I am in the first stages of rebuilding this motor, I have a few questions. The smallest bore size for the combustion chmabers )on their website) is 3.905". Would it be wise to have the cylinders honed out a little to match this? Is this necessary? I thought that the stock bore is 3.898".
I'm also getting forged pistons. Should I stick with 3.898" for the pistons, or go up to 3.905"? If teh pistons I'm looking are an advertised bore of 3.905, would I have to hone out the cylinder as well? I understand the increase in bore will increase my static compression.
Sorry if that might seem confusing, I just want this done right. Thanks!
