[QUOTE="macawman, post: 451228, member: 23375"] I measured the cylinders at 45 degree intervals around the cylinder and at 5 or 6 locations up and down the cylinder. Premitive, I know but the best I have at hand. I feel pretty good about the cylinders, but the pistons are another matter. The cylinder could be good, but the piston worn out because one is steel an the other is aluminum. Given that the rods, bearings, pins and pistons all have to be changed whether the pistons standard or over sized, the single answer to all the questions is to bore it and be done with it. Maybe I should see if I can find a machine shop that will measure the block and pistons for me. [/QUOTE]
