It would be easier & cheaper to take the bore out to 0.040 And get new pistons. tlowe sold me forged pistons for a 250 that fit perfectly except they are 0.020 tall. The top is plenty thick enough shave that off. Mine is a 40 over 153 with a 181 crank still a pile of parts. Stock 181 rods. It was when fitting these pistons that I learned I screwed up and forgot to hated the block decked and thus a big part of my stalled engine build.
