That is the same thing that Quirt and Bill told me. In light of this, I would say that what you really want to do is change the pistons. While it will be more expensive than just milling the heads, it will be more reliable as well. Depending on the mileage of the engine, you could potentially change the pistons without cracking the case. But really to do it right, you should take the block apart and hone the cylinders and then put the pistons in with fresh rings.

I am going to maybe take my chances in the near future. I have 25k on the block that is in my car. Cylinder wear can't be too great on that, and I may just throw some pistons in and see what happens. Just be aware that I have spare engines and don't really care if I break something. If your car is your daily driver, you would be better served being more conservative than I...
