It's a 4.0" Bore, the piston diameter is 3.970" I think. My question is do I use one that is 4" inside diameter or one that is couple of thousandths over the piston diameter?
Thanks.
Thanks.

This is the one I've used for 4" bore blocks.

I believe the taper stops a little ways towards the bottom. But that will allow your piston to slide right into the cylinder with ease. I use the same product above.
I always make sure the machine shop tapers the top of each cylinder to help with this too.
Just buy it...
