I can't remember if you need over sized pistons for .005" I think you would just need to install new rings. But if there is damage .005 might not be enough to fix the damage. May want to take it out more buy new pistons and rods, just remember they will need to be balanced
WS6 store on LS1tech sells .005" overbore pistons, they're hypereutectic like stock but "better". Not sure how they are better but that's what the vendor claims. They'd still be plenty good for NA
