Question

Say I get the motor bored .010 over, do I need to do anything with timing? What about .030 over? What would each of these things net me? I found a machine shop that will do cylinder boring, hopefully it's something they can do while I wait in town.
As far as boring goes never bore further than you have to, its a waste that won't gain you any HP and you lose the ability for future rebuilds. Timing should be the same regardless of how much its bored.
