yep
the aluminum housing is still shiny as well, not a spec of dirt on it

nah dude, buy the pistons, measure them with a micrometer, then bore to what the piston size actually is. So when youre finishing it up and doing the honing, you can get the piston to cylinder wall clearance dead on instead of hoping the pistons you bought after honing fit right.

i would go say go with the ls rods and no block guard insted go with block posting of filling. then run uberdata. you can find the info on the ls rods and blockposting and filling on homemadeturbo.com. but if you want to really make power i would go to a t3/t4 and sell the turbo you have now one ebay. if you are worried about lag just retard the timing and there will be little lag.

Ummm...how about no. If he buys .010 for example and there is ovalization or damage to the walls and they have to bore it .020 over then what? Now he has the wrong size pistons. Trust me take the block to the machine shop and let them look at it. Bore it to what you need then buy your pistons.

Thats why you measure before buying. Or if he didnt measure and that happpened, he could send back the pistons and get the proper size. What happens if the block is bored and honed and your pistons arent exactly the same size as they were advertised as, all of the sudden you have out of spec piston to wall gap. and then what if he cant hone any more without making the walls too thin? Then you need a new block. honestly, we both make good points. This is just what my engines teacher taught me and this is what i'll do for every engine i build.

well.... projects being put on hold for awhile now, got fired from my job yesterday, was accused of stealing because i hid a part in the back and they thought i was gonna take it, they got the cops involved and charged me with theft and forgery because i made a fake order slip so i didnt have to pay in advance... so now i'm taking them to court for wrongful termination and for trying to make me look like someone i'm not (i.e. theif)
