454 honing or boring for oversize
I have a gen 4 block which I'd like to refurbish.
The bores have a mark just where the rings stop. I measure 0.003 inch or 0.07mm bigger than the original bore 4.25 inch.
In general the cylinder walls are about 0.03mm off.
Is it possible to hone the 0.07mm or do I need to go for oversize pistons?
I heard about piston with a self adjusting coating on the skirt. Would that be an option?

If you have to buy new pistons buy a whole new rotating assembly with a stroker crank. You’ll save some coin on the pistons that way
