Default D15B bore...

ok well i kno its like 74.9mm or w/e but my question is, once i rip my motor out for my build im about to encounter is there a chance i might need the 75.5mm pistons because of honing an all that..?? I ran compression test an compression was an even 215 all across so my rings an all im assuming are good which means chances of scarring are minimal most likely "to my knowledge at least"... Im just about to buy my pistons an rods from FJDistributors an im not sure if i should get the 75's or 75.5's... I'd hate to wait until i get motor yanked an all the way down to gettin it ready for rebuild to have to place my order, just tryna plan ahead... Thanks...

what i did with mine is took it to the shop first and had them check for bore taper and all that stuff and tell me what i need to get, so your not buying something you cant use
