Yes. Boring the cylinders means that you have made the hole bigger. Although it's only a few thousandths of an inch difference, that is quite a lot when the piston is traveling through there HOPEFULLY for a long time. If you bore the cylinder without putting in the appropriate sized pistons & rings you will have NO compression and the engine won't run, and even if it did, it would wear out VERY quickly. So, YES, you do need to put in new pistons and rings when you bore the cylinders. And while you're at it, if you live in a high altitude (4,000 ft elevation or above) you can usually select pistons that will raise your compression by 1 point without causing trouble for the computer.

What does it mean when oil is in the pistons of a 2003 Volvo S40 1.9L turbo?

It may not mean anything at all. Motor oil is used to lubricate and cool the pistons. If there's a lot on the side of the pistons, then it's possible that you need to replace the piston rings.


If your 305 isn't using oil and you are rebuilding engine should you replace rings?

It would be wise to replace the rings while you have it apart. Need to deglaze the cylinder walls and install a new set of STEEL Rings. Do not use CHROME RINGS because they will not seat. And it will use oil then. Why are you rebuilding the engine in the first place? If parts of the engine are worn it would be reasonable to assume that the rings and/or cylinders are also worn. To do it right, have the cylinders tested for "taper", that will show you how much wear the cylinders have experienced, and if there is much taper you'll need to bore the engine and replace the pistons/rings. Tapered cylinders mean that the rings will constantly be moving against the piston ring groves. Also, check the piston ring groves for wear. If the ring grove is excessive the pistons will fail soon and the money you put into the rebuild will be wasted. Personally, I would never rebuild an engine without AT LEAST replacing the rings, even if there is no appreciable cylinder taper, and experience suggests that it's not even a good idea to reuse pistons. Odds are against an engine lasting very long if you reuse pistons that have much use.


What is being bored 030 over mean?

your pistons have a certain size to them, if you happen to wear down your head and looking for a cheep fix you can "bore" (like making a hole bigger) by a certain amount and fit new pistons in, that way you don't have warped piston walls and ensure proper combustion. Also some Honda enthusiasts will bore the head and put in high compression or low compression pistons to either get more hp naturally aspirated or more hp for a turbo setup.It has nothing to do with the heads, you don't "bore the heads"its the cylinder walls inside the block that get worn allowing them to become out of "round" oval shaped... this will cause the piston rings to not "seat" well, this in turn allows oil to pass by the rings causing the engine to burn oil. you have the boring part right but it is NOT a cheap fix. by the time you get the machine (boring) work done and buy over sized piston's, rings and all the gaskets and if you hire someone to do it, you're better off to buy an engine, on the other hand if you want to save the labor and enjoy doing it yourself, well.. that's why most people would opt to "bore and rebuild" an engine..to answer the original question .030 refers to "thirty thousands" over the original bore


What causes oil to be blown out of the exhaust?

bad piston rings or bad valve seals. valve seals are easy but time consuming to replace, while piston rings mean a total engine rebuild. sometimes, you can remove the sump, and get the pistons out from underneath.


What does bore and stroke mean?

AnswerBore is the size of the pistons. Stroke is each time the piston moves e.g. the piston moving up is 1 stroke then down is another stroke. there are both 2 and 4 stroke engines, a 2 stroke engine 'fires' once every revolution and a 4 stroke engine 'fires' every 2 revolutions. Hope that explains it!The answer is not fully correct. Bore is indeed the size, meaning the "diameter" of the pistons, and the strokeis actually the "depth" of the piston from top to bottom. In other words, it is the distance that the pistons undergo in one stroke ( as explained above ). for example, in service manuals you will find : Bore and Stroke - 74 X 58 mm that is : Bore = 74mm & Stroke = 58mm . :) Ophir BYv :)


What is wrong when you have oil inside the spark plug guides on a 1996 Saturn?

There could mean that the rings on the pistons are worn. Oil on the top of the plugs means the valve cover, or tube seals have failed.


What does bore mean in a sentence he bore your name?

It basically means that he has the name.


What does it mean to bore over an engine Does boring over provide for any extra performance?

Boring out the cylinders enables you to put larger diameter pistons in the block. Having a larger diameter cylinder means that the displacement of the engine increases. This increase can provide greater horsepower. Boring out a worn-out engine a few thousandths of an inch can square up the bore of the cylinder and breath new life into a worn out engine by restoring its compression. Good compression will have greater effect on improving the performance than the slight gain in displacement.


What does 4 cylinder mean on car?

4 cylinder means that the engine has 4 pistons it means it has 4 pistons. the number of pistons can tell you how much speed and how much power


What does the diameter of The bore in a gun mean?

The bore is the inside of the barrel- that is, the hole that the bullet is fired through. The diameter of the bore is measuring how wide the bore is from one side to another.
