The other thing is when you get past .060 your piston selection goes down drastically. You may need to go with custom pistons. I took mine out .070 with no problems but each block is different. On a 396, I've seen them go .090 and have no problems and I've seen them go through the wall at .060.

Not knowing how much my numbers 396 has been bored in the past - I am hoping there is still one more cut in order to true up the walls for new rings / pistons on a future rebuild.
