WHY ARE WE SCREAMING?!

 

send the cylinders in to a sponsor and let them do their job. do not order pistons, you will only be risking losing/wasting money on a set they may, or may not fit/work.

1. Enough with the CAPS LOCK....your not yelling, and we can read it regularly sized.

 

2. You need to have some use a micrometer to measure the inside of your cylinders. Should be [64.something]...Then decide how much your going to take out of the jug itself(bore out to the next size). You WILL need to order pistons, to the corresponding size up from your existing bore, to match your new bore. But any good machine shop SHOULDNT punch out the jug before they have pistons to match, as to check ring gap clearance. Realistically, you could just send your jugs off to a site sponsor, have them bore, hone, any porting you want done....and set you up with a topend package deal. Hope ya got some bucks though.... Just cost me damn near $500 just to bore and replace the topend. Factor in another 250-400 for porting, and youve got yourself a $1k topend.

actually, it is going to need to be punched out untill all the rust pitting is gone, and then a little more, probably, to get to the first useable size. it would be best to go with a builder that already has pistons on hand to match the bore, so you don't have to wait to find out what size you need.
