Re: My LQ4/T56 build thread

My advice on the pistons is what my builder told me. I wanted him to go maximum overbore on mine and he gently but firmly said "NO." "You are going to have a lot of money invested in this block by the time we finish all the machinework. Hone/bore the minimum required to clean it up. That way if you break something, like a ring and score a cylinder, or wear it out, you still have a chance (or several) to bore it again and save it." He's right. I gave up a few cubic inches but unless something catastrophic happens in the engine this block should be good for a couple builds.

Glad to see progress on your build again (and I dig the f-body)!
