Just got back from Florida (vacation) so I called up the machine shop today to find out how it was going and he said he highly recommends boring it out a little... so now I get to buy new pistons

(boy that refund from Fuddle would be great)

If it will clean up at .005'' that would be better.

Ya I am gonna give him a call and see if he can do it so I can stick with the 3.905s, that way I have the option of the Diamonds as well. Jon @ TSP said that is the more common of the two

EDIT: Just talked to the shop, he said he is gonna set it up to see if .007 over will clean it up in the morning, so ill know by tomorrow. That makes me feel better knowing I can go with the Diamonds
