This is kind of a general question I have regarding vehicle engines in general, but for simplicity let’s just confine it to a 216/235.

Let’s say you have cylinders that won’t quite clean up with a hone-only. Is there a number at which you could bore/hone slightly and still use the stock or existing pistons? Like perhaps up to .003? Or 0.005? Where does piston slap become an issue?
