    Thanks
    well even new pistons are off 0005 to .001 in one set so it nice to have them before you hone to size. if i am boring a block i will not bore and hone it less i have them in my hands .i like to hone out amount that work s for me with my boring bar so i set the boring cut so i not taking out 006+ with the hone so it nice to have the pistons. but if some just wants me to bore and not hone then it 005 under the the final size like a 030 over would be 025 THERE IS ALOT OF PATS HERE I SEE
