Everything you mentioned should come undersized. Maybe rough bored but not honed. How do I know how the cylinder was finished? Or what size the main bores need to be? Or even lifter sizing.

It's part of building an engine that all those things and more need to be left undersize or too many times you end up doing more work.


I'm more concerned if the Mainline is straight, lifters are properly located etc. I'd assume they come for .904 diameter lifters as that is the standard size for all mopars. Anyone who wants to bush them or go to .937's or keyways are on their own.
