      It is an 87mm bore with maxsil 10.5:1 (stock oversize) pistons, block was tanked bored, crank cleaned and polished.

      How is the quality of maxsil pistons ? Did you end up doing rods?

        The maxsil are a good piston to get for quality rebuild. They seem to all come in at 1.0mm overbore which is all the more over I would get for an s50 block. They are lighter than stock and they claim to be stronger.

        I was actually going to get wiseco 11.0:1 in a 0.5mm overbore but my order got canceled and was going to set me back 2 months. Price for maxsil was comparable to wiseco but no waiting for custom pistons. Rods are oem, no plans for boost in the motor as of right now.
