OK, I did some searching but I need a little specifics.
I have a 2-6" Starret outside mic. All I can get access to at this point is some cheap telescopic gauges from harbor freight to get the inside measurments of the bores. Will these two tools be reliable enough to make an hone or overbore decision?
What I have is a .040 magnum engine with smogger pistons. I bought some Scat I beam rods since those with be used with any engine I build. I want to replace the smogger pistons with KB 107's, use moly coated rings, and have the machine shop hone for the rings and deck the block to zero.
My worry is the difference in the smogger pistons and the KB 107 pistons, which I dont have yet. I dont want to order .040 pistons if I either need to rebore or find another block.
Does anybody know the average diameter of the KB 107 pistons? What is the maximum out of round taper and bore diameter for a KB 107 when using moly rings.
Engine is gonna be a street engine on 92 octane.
