Also, its bad machine shop practice to buy pistons to fit a block that has already been bored. The correct practice is to mic the pistons, add in the recommended skirt clearance, and bore and hone the block to fit the pistons.

I would find another block and turn that one into a weld fixture or donate it to your local school's shop and take a tax write-off on it. Or scrap it.
