^^^^wtf? Really helpful...
why would you want to use standard pistons if you have just got new ones? and had your block bored out? it does not make much sence to be honest

are you building a n/a or turbo engine a little more info would be helpful lol

If you have had your block bored out you will need new pistons (you have got some) depends whether you are going hi reving/ power then new rods could be a good thing if you have the money? seeing as you have got new pistons I would get new rods aswell.
