bore dimension needed

My rebuild kit arrives tomorrow.
I ordered .020 over pistons.
What is diameter bore needs to be bored to? and what is the clearance required for piston to cylinder wall?
The injectors are being worked on my Jim, I hope to be running nexr week!
Thank you, C

Does the company you got the kit from have any recommendations? When I buy pistons, I just take them and the block to the machinist and have him bore it to the manufactures specs.

Maybe someone else can give you better info, just telling you what I do, granted it's usually a gas racing motor but still...
