Hello all,
I just put together my 87' Regal and found out that cylinder 3 has no compression. After taking a snake camera down the spark plug hole I found out a portion of my cylinder is mission on the top side. I have a set of pistons by diamond, attached are a few pictures. It looks like the bore is 3.810" and the stroke is 1.685". My question would be are these a drop in piston or would I have to bore out my heads? I am somewhat new to the inside of engines, I have been around the outside of engines my whole life just never opened one up.
Would I be better off just honing the cylinder? I know that if there are just light scratches honing will work, but if the scratches are deeper then either a proper honing machine or bore to the next size up would be best.
