Im building a motor with a summit rebuild kit with the forged speed pro pistons. My question is since i got the stock size pistons ( it was a gift and they didnt no what size to get), The stock bore size for my 302 is 4 inch bore (i looked in the master bearing catalog) I used a bore gauge and my cylinders varied from 4.002-4.005 this is after honing. Would this be ok or should i return the stock size pistons and go .030 over. I dont want to put it all together and find out i have no compression lol. Everyone please give ur opinions on what i should do. Thanks
