You are coming at this from the wrong direction. 14 years old or 64 years old, the average guy can have only so much expertise in many technical subjects, and this includes engine rebuilding. What we do then is to find an expert that we can have confidence in to help us. In engine rebuilding this is the automotive machine shop. What most of us do, if we have determined that an engine needs rebuilding is to take the major components to an automotive machine shop that we have selected. They will examine these components and determine what needs to be done. At the very minimum they will hot tank the block, clean it thoroughly and insure that all of the oil galleries are clean. Sometimes they will tell you that a component that you bring to them needs to be discarded. This is huge. You don't want to spend a lot of time and money only to end up with a piece of junk because you started out not knowing that a major component was junk until you start it up. Once they see what you are starting with they will tell you what needs to be done to the components. They will tell you if you can re-use pistons or not. They will tell you what size over you need. Next if you will smart you will ask the shop to source your pistons for you. They buy pistons everyday. They have many sources. They will most likely save you a lot of money on them and if you let them source your parts you are assured that all the components will go together properly assuring a favorable outcome.
