.005 hone with stock pistons
.005 hone with stock pistons Hi all,
I am trying to price my rebuild with diffrent options. Can I opt to reuse the stock 3.898 pistons if I hone the cylinder walls .005" ? If so can I use a set of 3.903" rings on the stock 3.898" pistons ? Help a noob out

Thanks guys,
I understand where your coming from. I was watching a pretty good ls1 rebuild series on Youtube by "MrWhiteLS". He reuses the stock pistons and rods after using a stone hone on the cylinder walls. He dosent specify what size rings he goes with. I guess he went with a VERY minimal hone with standard .00 rings.

With the wide range of off-the-shelf high tech coated pistons on the market at reasonable cost, why would you want to re-use old pistons?
The only caveat to buying new is you should have your rotating assembly re-balanced, which is usually part of a decent re-build anyway.

That's the path I am going. I was curious about my options if I had the machine work done for the .005 over and then had to back out (if money becomes tight) of the stroker and reuse stock pistons to save a buck. I suppose if I can't pop for the crank I could just upgrade the pistons to match the new bore.
