Before you hone it check to see what your piston to wall clearance is now. With the high silicon content in the SRP pistons you will probably want to go no more than .0050 but you should check with SRP. You don't want to make it too wide or the piston will rock and slap around in the cylinder.

You check it like this.

Damn, well thanks for checking.

You're not going to check your piston to wall clearance, are you? You're just going to hone it and then bolt it back together.

Ill answer that YES!

Haha, you don't know me that well Ron. I do have $8K into my powerplant. And I am capable of using a feeler guage. So no, I'll check it first.

...I wasn't always unemployed. And I don't fuck around with this car. Although right now... I have to make due with what I have.

There is always the knurled piston skirt route.

[enkeivette]

What is that?

[enkeivette]

I looked up a knurled piston, that means cutting grooves in the piston skirt so you can run it with LESS clearance. Not sure how that would help.
