[QUOTE="nccatfisher, post: 451240, member: 10811"] I believe I would. If it has mismatched pistons that means it already has been into once. If there is any doubt I would bore it, then you are good to go from now on barring some unforeseen failure that could happen to a brand new one. It would be bad to have as much time and new parts in it as you do and find out later it did need just a little more attention that could cause a failure. As an ending note, all that carboning up and plugging of exhaust is indicative of either tremendous low speed running, cold temp running or most likely it was already pumping a bunch of fuel/oil by the rings/pistons some way. It had issues, that is why I would check every possibility prior to going back with that block in the shape it is in now. [/QUOTE]
