CYLINDER MACHINING QUESTION

I suppose. I just consider .040 the last step before sleeving. Trying to keep it as original as possible. .030 gives me some breathing room. I don't care about the other 340 that I have. It's freshly bored to .040 with one sleeve. and that's probably the one going in. I'll keep the numbers engine as a museum piece. I'll leave it "worn out" and just store it on my run stand to fire up every 3 months or so to keep things clean and moving.
I wouldn't have a number matching car if I hadn't sleeved a total of 3 cyls over time.
I ran 12.5 pistons 060 over and ran 2/10 off nhra record .
Still driving car today, pistons trimmed 3 times, down to 10 1/2 now .
Piston manufacturers wouldn't tool up to make .060 pistons if there wasn't a huge market ! !
