well normally 81.5 mm you will have more options on piston choice/compression.
If its more then 81.5 then you might be in some trouble. i wouldnt recommend going over that on a stock block with boost.
What were youre power goals?...using pump gas?

If you already have 81mm pistons, then the bore size can only be 81mm.
If you go to 81.5mm you need 81.5mm pistons.
The most they can do and use 81mm pistons is hone the cylinders, not bore them.
They can hone it to about .065 ptw clearance before you start to get noisey piston slap.

DO IT ON ALL FOURS
Re: whats the biggedt bore size i can go on 81mm pistons
Just spin the pistons 360* and put them back in. It will be fine...
Heat them up with a torch to get the measurements needed, then hurry up and install them...
In all seriousness, are you serious OP?
Let's start from scratch: What exactly happened that you came to the conclusion you had bottom end problems?

That's what happened. The cylinder wall got scored with something. So now he's getting it bored out. There were problems with the pistons too.

Well he sure seemed like they could be used again. I am just trying to push the clueless in the right direction. You can visibly see that gouge in the poor picture and most likely it is going to either be a goner or at least an 82mm bore. I assumed you were posting a random picture, I didn't know you were personal friends with him or whatever the situation is. OP - Just be prepared for a lot more money to be spent either way.

Not personal friends. Just a matter of looking at his post history. I don't even know why he's asking until he hears back from the machine shop.

If you're going to re-use your 81mm pistons, the biggest bore you can go is 81mm (plus the recommended p/w clearance)....that shouldnt come as a surprise
