Re: Forged Pistons and Rods......Who makes them? JE 5 thousandths over bore pistons w/ Oliver or Lunati Pro Mod rods. This is a really nice combo and the same pistons/rods going in my 346ci motor.

Re: Forged Pistons and Rods......Who makes them? This means that you have to get your motor bored .005 over, right? If not, it will cause piston slap , right?
Finally, I'm confused as to what re-sleeving an engine is, but I'm guessing it's making the cylinder walls smooth again. Would this be needed as well?
Thanks

Re: Forged Pistons and Rods......Who makes them? Resleeving is when the cylinder liners are removed, and new ones replace them. Most often with LS1s, they are replaced with larger diameter ones to produce a big bore engine.
Here you can see the cylinders have a liner in them http://www.ebbsnflows.cz28.com/images/stageii-90.jpg
You can hone the stock ones some though, the amount dependant on year. Honing or boring is what smooths imperfections from the cylinder walls. You will need an oversize piston to properly fit the larger cylinder.
