.5mm? .050"?

honestly i wouldnt reccomend going that big (.050"). i am the only one that I have heard of who has done it that big, and my car isnt running well enough to verify that it is safe (unrelated to the piston bore im sure rofl). :(

for valvetrain components call SI Valves (www.sivalves.com)
for cam call delta (www.deltacam.com)

It depends upon what you are building it for. Any stock type stuff I can help you with. Are you going turbo or not?

im going for a performance rebuild, so i want good power now but hopefully i can go turbo down the road, but for now i'm gunna go n/a, with a Weber 38. so yeah, where else can i find some pistons then, i want to bore it out just to get that much more power. but where should i get pistons in that case? just give me like a list of stuff i'll wnat like gaskets and stuff. thanks
