How much difference between a 302 and 306?

:OT: I like your wheels. ROH ZS and the racing ZS are the nicest wheels on a fox!

Boring it out provides fresh cylinder walls and increases compression slightly by increasing the sweeping volume.

My engine runs the same temp. (stock guage though) as it did before the rebuild.

Click the link in my signature for the differences between 302's and 306's in more detail under 302 Stroker Information.

If your looking at your old block, check and see if it has much of the stock crosshatching in the cylinder walls. A machine shop could just hone it out for you and you could reuse your old pistons! Crosshatching angle is important for oil retention on the cylinder walls, whether the engine is running or not. To steep of a crosshatching can cause more ring rotation and less oil retension on the side walls. Shallow crosshatching doesn't allow the rings to rotate enough to let go of excess heat and more blow-by can occur.
