While I greatly appreciate your response, it makes me want to kick the guy who bored my block right in the nuts for giving me bad info, so, what your saying is my only option at this point is to buy new piston rods? ( I really do thank you for responding in a timely matter, and by that I mean before i had the pistons pressed onto the rods) i could have had him bore it differently and i could have used bigger 352 pistons thus saving me a little money, no wonder 352 pistons are 100 dollars more than 360 piston. Oh well I guess this way I get new rods too. thank you again
