Default stock overbored pistons. Tried searching couldn't find what I need.

Looking for overbored stock pistons for an h22a1. I'm wondering where I can find them and what size is the biggest they offer. Trying to find some solutions other than getting it resleeved. I haven't pulled my head off yet and I don't know the condition of my walls, but if it's not too bad, one option is to hone it slightly and get new pistons and set the end gaps a bit bigger.

If the walls are a bit scratched, I may need to overbore .5 and get bigger stock pistons. If worst comes to worst, I will need to resleeve but for now, want to know where and how much overbored pistons are .

Thanks

As far as stock, I believe they make a piston .025 over.

I don't think they make them .050 over though.

the helm manual says .25mm is overbore. basically if you have to go beyond that they recommend getting a new block instead. or you can do replacement sleeves.

Thanks for the info guys! ****, looks like I may have to go with another block or resleeving, but I won't know until I open her up...by the way, how much are oversized pistons compared to after market ones like ge or wiseco?

EDIT** I just saw some prices on that link. My bad.
