Bob get thee to a GOOD machine shop (someone with a good rep
amongst the "racing and street rod" community) and have your old
ones bored out... That is if you don't turn up a set (usually
it's pistons AND liners).
Some might say this won't work but it did for me... about 5 years
ago and I'm still happy with the results. You will have to take
the block too (may as well have it boiled out at the same time).
