What should I make sure I get done when I rebuild my stocker??

Looking for a mild rebuild on the cheap.

Pistons
Cam
Crank
Heads
etc.


What can be reworked and what needs to be replaced??

Can you hone it without doing the .030 over bit??

Isn't there usually a ridge lip of some type??

Ask your machine shop usually depends on how bad your walls are scored up. depending on how bad they are you might have to do .030 over and bump up to a 306... if you do that you would need a set of pistons.. and pistons kind of depend on what setup you are going for in the future. Forced induction etc.
