Does it need to be bored? Are you asking out of necessity or are the cylinders currently too far past honing?

Havent had it to the machine shop just yet. I was just asking for future reference. In case i ran in to the problem.

Quick question.
Whats a good brand of rod bearings?

Also I will be getting my head port and polished.
would it benefit me to get bigger cams?

I've heard different opinions.

I was wondering about the same thing about how much you could bore over I asked a member on here about his motor cause he bored it out .040 over and he said he has ran it for a couple years and hasnt had any trouble with it. If you get any machining work done to your motor make sure they use a torque plate.
