prep block for a stroker? i just got a complete l92 pullout and i wanna put a stroker kit in it. My question is is it necessary to bore or hone the block b4 i install the stroker kit. i know ls3/l92 bore size is 4.065 so if i just get 4.065 pistons with the stroker kit and put them in will i be good? exactly what prep work if any should be done b4 putting the new pistons in if they are the same size as stock.
This thread would be a good read

The main journal on factory new LS block are tight and need to be honed to obtain correct bearing clearance.
The bores do not need to be cut (bored) provided not corroded or damaged; torque plate hone will ensure they're straight, have correct wall finish, and will have proper piston/wall clearance. If not honed, you risk oil consumption, detonation leading to low compression.
When we bolt on the torque plate the bores are typically out .001-.003" (on a new LS2 or LS3 block).
Also need to grind a few spots to clear the rods with stroker crank.
