ok...

so im going to be buying the topline rebuild kit from slowboy racing, I skipped my timing belt and im going to be rebuilding the whole damn thing. I need to know if I need to get .20 pistons, or should the stock size do just fine. I will have to get the .20 pistons if I damaged my cylinder walls...correct? Will a messed up timing belt cause my cylinder walls to get F'ed up? Is there an advantage to getting .20 pistons??? Also, if i get the .20 ones I will have to port the cylinder walls to make the pistons fit properly right? How much will that cost...haha, thanx guys just lemme know whats going on with my situation.
 
Only way to be sure if you damaged cylinder walls is too look at them. If they're damaged you might get away with just honing the block, depending on the damage. If you get oversized pistons, then you need to bore out the block and that will up your displacement, here's some link to help you figure out what it'll be http://www.bgsoflex.com/auto.html and http://www.prestage.com/Car+Math/default.aspx
As far as price goes, you'll have to call your local shops and ask around for the price. If it gets too high you might wanna look into buying a running engine, but then again that might be a headache waiting to happen to. Good luck.
