Quick question regarding the block.
I was going to have my block honed, so I could still reuse my SuperEta pistons.
HOWEVER, my friend brought up a good point. As soon as you resurface (hone/bore) the cylinder walls, the pistons will no longer be compatiable, due to tolerance issues. Is this true?
Basically, if I wanted to resurface my cylinder walls (say the crosshatching was non-existant) I would need new pistons to put in - rendering my SuperEta pistons useless. if i want to use my SuperEta pistons, I have to leave the block as is.
Additionally - I'm planning on reusing my rods. If I stick with the SuperEta pistons (thus not honing or resurfacing my cylinder walls) I don't need to remove the piston from the rods right? This would mean I wouldn't need new pins or bushings correct? Or should I just replace those anyway?
I've been doing lots of research lately, and little questions have popped up here and there.
Thanks!
