i dont think much further than 40, but you could always resleave?

Not sure but you don't find parts past 40th so I guess 40th

So if I go 20 fel over size....can I still use standard rings....I know more then you need but is it neccesary for 0.5mm over size

Forged pistons slap because ppl run HUGE bore clearances because u had to in the old days which in this day and age are not needed.

"Custom boring" Does this mean bore the block to suit the pistons? I thought that was the only way to build a decent engine.

Remove engine to fit Arias pistons and overhaul it later? Did I understand this correctly? Why doesnt it make any kind of sense?

LOL - i think he meant that he hopes the noise will go away when he removes the engine to overhaul it.

i hope that means that he will replace the pistons at the same time.

now get back to work!!!!
