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?

I perfer 80 grit snad paper and just guess when to stop and just put some rubber aroumd the piston of it doesnt fit right
and to stroke it it is a little box the bolts to the side of your motor
