Default 6.2 pistons in a iron 6.0
Can i use my stock crank and rods and just bore it to fit 6.2 pistons? the reason i ask is i have scored cyl walls and this is the cheapest way for me right now.

You can to bore the 6.0 block to 4.06" and get new pistons.

Not every LQ4/LQ9 block can take a 0.06" overbore. To go that far over, have the block sonic tested first.

forgot to mention, the pistons are pressed to stock rods. wrist pins included with pistons, coated skirts. very good quality pistons, hypereutectic material
