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?

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
