No, sorry if I was confusing.  Motor was already bored to .030 upon
disassembly.  Cyl all checked out as round and no taper, so figured only a
hone was required.  Pistons that were reused were also .030.

May be a stupid question, but did you bore the block .030 and then reuse the
standard pistons?  That's what I get from the note above.
