Okay ya'll heres the latest and greatest from Joe @ G&G...Joe found 2 pistons that needed to be replaced. I could go ahead and just replace the 2, have them re-coated, new rings but he felt the block really should be honed with a torque plate and go to a 4.110 bore with a brand new set of pistons. Well, I guess I could go the cheap route, replace the 2 pistons and it would be just fine but I've decided to go with Joe's advise and spend the extra $$ in order to sell someone a virtually brand new short block! Not sure what the 4.110 bore/4.000 stroke will make for final dispacement, probably around 424-425CI, but someone will have a very nice, very fast piece for the $$$...I'll let everyone that has contaced me know when it's available. I've already posted the asking price so it looks like I may be eating the extra cost of pistons, rings and additional machine work unless it's just way more than I expect, then I'll have to see about a mutual agreement with the buyer...

Any reason why the pistons have to be replaced?

Don't know why but raised the ring land on two pistons enough to warrant replacements...

Never used a dispacement calculator before...
