Why do you need it bored, or do you mean honed? what did you buy for internals? are you sure your cylinder walls are within spec for your pistons and rings? if don, carnut, doesn’t chime in pm him about what shop he uses. they did a bunch of work for me before i assembled my z6. ---

im not quite sure what honed is? I bough vitara pistons +eagle rods , and the cylinder walls should be fine. i dont think the rest really matters. ---

Vitara pistons need very tight bore tolerances to work well. i would take your bare block to napa on wehrle to get your bore sizes. what honing does is puts cross hatches on your cylinder walls to get a proper seal. i would also take your crank in to make sure it is also within spec before you continue any further. it’s critical for a high revving honda engine to have near perfect tolerances so that it’s not eating bearings monthly. ---

so if the pistons are stock bore is it possiable that i just need to hone the block? ---

Possibly, when you have it bored make sure you bring in your piston specs as well as piston to wall tolerances so they don’t over hone the block. a hone will take a bit of material from the walls. i’d just take everything to napa and politely explain what you need and stress the importance of being in spec for those pistons. ---

in my first post i said to pm carnut, or try napa on wehrle, both have done work for me. i did my final assembly though. also check out [theoldone.com](http://theoldone.com) and read about notching which you have to do for eagle rods. ---

if the pistons u ordered are stock bore then you shouldnt bore it. The whole reason you would bore is because u have oversized pistons ---
