People give me good condition std. bore 235 pistons just to get them out of their way when they rebuild their engines, and I recycle them into 216 engine buildups. That usually makes the cost of a rebore job a moot point- - - -especially since I've got a couple of Van Norman boring bars and a "retired old man" work schedule! Jerry
