Default Quick question about a .020" overbore
I just wanted to make sure that there is not problem with a .020" overbore on a 2000 ls1. The 99+ have thicker sleeves right?

the better question is who makes 3.920 (or 3.918 if you want to be exact) pistons. the stock liners are only about .060 thick.
