Anyone built 482 LSX GM?

We're using a tall deck LSX block to build a 461ci LSX, thats a nitrous build with aluminum rods.
To make a 482ci, you would hypothetically need 4.250 bore x 4.250 stroke. It would be a trainwreck of a build, that would have poor gasket seal, loud pistons, and most likely use oil. Sleeve length has alot to do with it.
Hence we're using a 1.270" compression height piston vs. .990" piston you would need for 482ci build

most ideal setup I like with std. deck LSX, 440ci
4.185 x 4.000" ; 4.155" will have better gasket seal
You look at the bores, 4.185 or 4.200, its thin between the bores.
When you run a 4.185" bore you can use a 4.200" MLS gasket, all shelf parts, rings sizes are common etc. If I recall cometic goes up to 4.210" for gasket bore size. 4.250" you would need, copper gasket.
I'd say the topic has been beaten to death more then once on here.

You could go 4.185 and be alright if you stay NA. I was wanting to do a dry sleeve 4.185" bore motor and hit it with a 150 shot or so, but i was told if I wanted to do that then I would need to step up to the superdeck 1 which is capable of 4.200 bore. I still dont know what I wanna do

No matter which block you go with all LS blocks are 4.4" BS. They will
all have same gasket dimensions.
People use 4.250" bore size with a 4.5" bore space SBC
Heres other issue, you go for the 4.200" bore size later on after its been run and needs freshen up. No room to bore the cylinder. If you start at 4.155/4.185 you leave some options later on.
With the RHS block, they have difficulty keeping the bores round over 4.175" bore size.

Good info about the RHS block.
We are using 4.165 bore for our build.
RHS block? Pistons out of the hole?

4.250 bore is not a great idea in an LSX and neither is 4.250 stroke unless you measure your particular block. Seen two different ones super nova and not much left. Both shops didn't know what they were doing though but still not a good combo for that block.
