so I picked up an aba on sunday from a guy in chaple hill nc and paid 150$ I guess I got what I paid for b/c I was told it was outside but the tarp blew away not to long in the last storm and possible some amount of water in there, well the rust was way bad I think I am haveing to get new pistons and a small bore job done but what should I do should I got with a 83mm or 83.mm piston and bore? I am getting a 9:1 or lower piston but does anyone konw a god place to buy from or have a hook up.

the thing to do is to take it to a machine shop and see what they think. If it needs bored then they will be a better judge of how much has to be taken off. I can't say if it will clean up at 83mm or not.

either way I need pistons and they are usally the same price no matter what size I get or C:R but I have found a set of wiescos for 480$ with pins and rings
