The machine shop I used is local, and the third one I talked to about doing the work at that. They had done a few other 3800's before of the Series II's. Turns out, its the same machine shop AnimuL and FieroX used cause this shop knows their stuff.
Yup, best way is to have the cylinders honed and cleaned and measured, and if they are with in the specks of the bore size of what ever pistons you go with then wha-la your good to go. Then if something should happen, and there is damage to the block cylinder where the only way to rebuild it is to bore the cylinder to clean them up and go over sized you can. I wouldn't go over a 10 bore myself if I had to. Personally if it came down to it needing bored, I would probably scrap that block and go get me another one to build. Hints why I am saving up on good blocks when I can. I have 1 complete L67 and 2 long blocks and 2 short blocks in my garage, and no, not for sale.
