If you're going out from 4.005" to 4.010, it won't be bored, just honed. Still no sweat, and it saves you the cost of boring ;D

Talk to texas-speed for the pistons. Depending what dish you want they might have them in stock. I got a -10cc 4.010 bore wiseco piston and they had them in stock and always great to deal with. I just picked up my motor today looks so nice.

Everything that is bored is always finished with a hone.

Boring = rough cut to about .005" undersize

Honing = finish cut, much less material and add proper cross hatch. Last few thousanths.
