Default New Piston Re-Hone Cylinder?

Hey guys, I wanna get the Alba Cam and Spring kit. You get the higher comp. piston with the new rings do you think I should have the cyl. re honed? There maybe a lip where the piston rings never hit and bust the ring. Let me know Thanks in advance.

Yeah what Jay said. The cyl. MUST be be fitted to the piston for proper clearance.

i sent my jug to wisco off of my 95 wolverine. they bored it and mached a 10.25 comp piston to it. with shipping and insurance it was around 200 bucks. it was well worth it, and gives me piece of mind. p.s. it included the gaskets.

As a very minimum ... the cylinder needs honed enough to put a cross hatch that will allow the new rings to seat.

It there is a ridge ..... you may need to oversize the cylinder ( and piston ) to remove it.
