should i bore over
i have a stock b18b1 motor, and i plan on rebuilding it as a lsvtec with oem p73 pistons on shotpeened ls rods.
my motor runs fine and strong now, so should i buy stock bore pistons and just get the block honed? or should i buy oversized pistons?

Measure your bore with a micrometer.. If it is out of spec (check a hanes manual for specs 
then you will need a fresh bore, also oversize pistons to match if not..
buy stock size pistons and just get a nice crosshatch going with a honing stone... the type you can use with a cordless drill.

I would order oversize pistons and mark the holes they will go in, and send them to the machine shop and have them match the piston to the bore, might as well do it right the first time, I sure has hell wouldn't want a factory piston slapping in the hole....
