early i created a thread asking which piston rings to use. after further research i found that there are many different styles such as material they are made of, coated or not, gapless or not, filing or not. maybe someone can help narrow my search. here is what i got. stock 302 block with standard bore and stock pistons. all im doing is having the block honed and replacing rings on stock pistons with 85,000 miles. just a hone should still allow me to use the standard 4.000 bore correct? the machine shop needs the pistons and rings before they hone it so i planned on getting the standard bore size. also i do not own a piston ring filer or precise enough tools for the measuring. this started off as a small budget build but has gone over by about $2000. and new pistons and boring is just too exspensive right now. any incite would help.
