Default Pistons for lq4 4.030 bore
Im tearing down a 2002 lq4 & am looking to have the block bored over 4.030..... I was wondering if anyone could recommend any pistons that are priced affordably or any cheap ones.

You need to provide more information before someone can make any suggestions. No use in recommending a $700 set of forged pistons when you're on a $300 hypereutectic piston budget.

What kind of power are you trying to make?
What connecting rods?
What crankshaft?
Are you needing a dished piston for lower compression, or a flat top/domed piston for higher compression?

Stock crank and rods with new bearings of course. I'm going for low to mid 4s with the hp. I'm looking for a set of valve relief flat top since I'm installing a cam
