BEFORE you buy pistons, CHECK the cylinders. I have seen quite a few still within new tolerance, no ridge.
Don't bore unless you have to! And maybe your old pistons are still good too, if the PO changed oil regularaly.
Likewise I have a box of about 50 used rod and main bearing inserts within half a thou of new size!
I replaced them but would be willing to use most of them on an engine buildup.
(or perhaps throw in a couple sets with a new B20 set for a B30 rebuild)

Yes, I am of Scottish descent!
