Pistons won’t come out

Bah. Ridge reamer is overrated.
And now;
because you didn't ridge-ream the block ............... and made a mess; you are looking at .060 overbore? instead of .040; Is that right? I mean jus asking for a friend.

At this point, if the pistons are re-useable, it might be cheaper, or better, IDK, to procure another block. If you lived next door, I'd be inclined to give you one.

Or maybe you'd rather have a 340..... lol. But not giving that away....
I could throw in a ridge-reamer.
