If your going back with stock .030 over pistons why can't you just use the old ones for your measurements?? The only differance in the pistons should be the dia.? or am I missing somthing?

No i think you are right, I could do that I was just worried there might be slight differences from the old to new pistons but I guess I could always just measure the two and calculate the difference. Also I know some machine shops like to take over the entire engine build. would it be acceptable to measure my new pistons myself and then tell the machine shop the exact dimensions I want it bored to? or do they have to have pistons?
