PATRICK'S will sell you a set of .080 over pistons. My 235 has been bored .080 over using their pistons and rings. I believe the pistons and rings go about $200 which, oddly enough, is just about the same price for new bearings.

You can go as far as .125 but you'll need forged pistons at $500 a set if you're into such things.
