20 over is a phrase used by machine shops signifying twenty thousanths of an inch. Notice how when you order pistons from JE (Example), they don't sell you 81mm pistons, they sell you 3.307" pistons. You have to do the math from there, 1mm is equal to 0.03937 inch.

you have to get the oversized pistons FIRST and then the machine shop measures them and machines the block for them with the proper clearance, you CANNOT have it bored first!

i know a lot of people who have done that. some people don't have the tools to measure if it's been bored before, so they take it to the machine shop, the machine shop says they will bore it .20 over, they get it, it's honed to perfectly match the pistons (which sometimes aren't bought yet) and then you're done.
