So i took my blaster to a shop to get it bored out,and the man said hed bore it 40 thousands over,what does this mean?
 
You need a piston for .040 over (67mm I believe). He is redrilling the cylinder to a larger size because the size down (Probably .030 over) is too beat up to use. By redrilling, you get a nice, fresh start.
 
The right way to bore the cylinder is to get the piston first then have the cylinder bored to match the piston with the right clearance
 
Sorry to be a downer man... Actually there have been many people who report that by boring out their engine they could feel a power difference but I suspect that it much more to do with those tired, 10 year old rings that were in it before versus those fresh new ones after the bore job.
