Hi Rick, I went on the stovebolt site and found an email address. Asked the question about boring up to .080. Just got a response from Tom. " over boring to .080 would probably be OK". I respect his expertise and years of experience but I have decided I am going to do my best to keep it at the current .060. I realize that means some sleeving. Any way I wanted to share with you what I found out. Ken Wagner

He was a gm engineer in the day and likely woukd have respectable knowledge on the subject. Do a search for Langdon Stovebolt ad I think you will locate hus web page. Seems to me though you can take a 235 out to .125 on an overbore before you rhn jnto troubles. I coukd be wrong however. Good luck!!

It is rare that I don't get at least one hit from you guys. My question is; has anyone bored a 235 chev up to .080. They make pistons that size, but I am getting mixed messages from lots of mechanics and machinests about the adviseability. Thanks for any input.
