5/64 & 1/16th ring and max bore size

hi, after 1000 miles , should be no wear period. unless a pin rubbed on bore.
wall clearance is determined by piston skirt dia. I measure bore, then piston dia to determine clearance. .003 is not excessive. what kind and brand is the pistons? just food forthought.

.003 is fine (but as stated, what pistons?). by measure i mean he should have mic'd the bores, and measure the taper in them (widths at the top,middle,and bottom of the cylinder bore). can't just measure the piston/wall clearance. a good hone job would fix that. he has no way of knowing wether a .060" overbore is OK without sonic testing. IMO he's just running through the motions and giving you the bill.

I totally agree. Very few pistons run less clearance than .003" so why does it need bored out if there is no damage in the cylinder? I think it's your wallet he's trying to bore out. JMHO
