i do it all the time. it's not a big deal. make sure they use a torque plate on it when honing. no need to bore it for only .010 more.

Thanks guys, I will go to the machine shop this week and talk to them. It is a sb and the bore currently is 4.030 and 4.040 pistons seem to be available for a 4in. stroke from probe and wiseco, not sure on what brand I will be going with, I hae run Ross for years now.
Diamond also has a 4.040 piston for the 4" stroke

if you don't know if the cylinder walls are good or not see if you can have it sonic tested first before deciding on what to do
