what are the stock pistons made of? (iron/aluminum) and does that have any effect on expansion?

Boring won't finish it alone, but a good hone and some good pistons will likely take care of it.

yeah get some forged pistons and have a shop bore to specs, from what I understand the piston slap is due to undersized pistons or over bored sleeves.... right?
