Engine Rebuild Question

[maximuspaynimus]

If nothing was bored out or honed or anything on my engine, would getting larger pistons work? Is there enough room for .10 over? Or would it be best to leave everything standard when I buy the rebuild kit?

get standard unless you want to turbo what ever you drive

An overbore is only to correct imperfections in the cylinder bore. Take your block to a machine shop to have the bore checked. If it checks out ok, order the standard bore kit. If you need an overbore, the machine shop will tell you how much it needs to be overbored (.010, .020, etc) and you should order the corresponding kit. Keep in mind that boring out your block by several thousandths will not gain any performance and will cost more in machinist fees than just a quick hot-tank and hone.

If you are asking if you can use .010 pistons in a standard bore, then the answer is no. They make the overbore pistons to keep normal cylinder to piston clearances with the oversized cylinder.

Also you should fill out your vehicle profile so we can at least see what vehicle you are driving.

96eclipsex...what does that mean? You can turbo a standard bore motor just the same as an overbore motor.
