LS Block bore question
So there is a guy selling a LS block for $180 here Houston
he says the block is bored .85mm over with new seals and all that jazz.
so my question is that if i buy 81.5mm pistons, will the pistons and rings set right? like is .35mm too much for the piston ring to expand too?
Please lmk
i wanna start my build and this block is gold for me if i can fit the pistons.
getting weisco 81.5mm pistons if that matters.

^This!
Yeah dude, the SETUP in which you speak of is toast.
You should read up on Piston to Wall Clearance, before you start buying a block. Maybe getting a book related to Engine Blueprinting, before piles
of money and more money is just pissing out your wallet.
How do YOU know that the block is even 81.85mm ? Have you measured the piston skirt ?
Zero it out on a dial bore gauge ? Measured the cylinders WITH the Dial Bore Gauge, Zero'd
out ?
