I say NO WAY. the pistons were weak from the factory. Get forged pistons
 
89 4.3l, 230k. Can I just use new rings on the same pistons? The engine has been maintained fairly well. Is it really that important to overbore the cylinders? I'm not looking to build a race engine here. Just rejuvenating the engine while I do a transmission swap and a lift.
