Welcome to the hq... the vito's 404 should be a 68mm bore u could check that for starters. stock bore is 64mm. but u should try to get the imfo from the guy u bought them from to see if they have been punched over at all since the 404 kit and what kind of porting he had done with it.

thaks for the quick reply and nifo problem is i got it from a guy who got it from a guy type thing the guy i got it from never ran it so its all on me to find out what it is

anouth thing is i have not done much work with the internal side of engines so im not sure how to tell what thing are i did mic the cylenders and came up with 64.35 on the cylinders an 64.25 on the pistons so i guess its stock also there are some #'s stamped on the pistons ( booli ) and ( 513mo6450 ) if that means anything to anyone

oh ya it has Ball'z out Race'n etched on the side of both cylenders like a small shop did some work but cant find any info about them

I have sold a couple of these kits on ebay and basically Vito's 404 kit consists of big bore sleeves and cast 68mm pistons.If you take the head off the pistons will have std. stamped on the meaning they are the standard 68mm pistons that come with the kit.If it has a cool head you will have big bore domes in it.Stock heads will work without mods using Vito's big bore top end gasket kit.

doesnt sound like you have a big bore at all... 513mo6450(0.020 over std. bore) they're wiseco pistons, the piston can collaspe over time so that prolly why they measure 64.25 but what stmaped on top is what they are. id have the cylinder measure correctly with a dial bore gauge to till if they outta round and/or what exact size they are could be a worn bore already.
