I am needing to purchase 96mm cylinders for my 2056 build.
My case is a 1.8, so can/should I bore out my stock 93mm cylinders or should I purchase stock cast iron 2.0 cylinders(94mm) and have them bored out, or should I purchase aftermarket cast iron cylinders, or use birals? If I purchase stock 2.0 cylinders, should they be from the same engine case?
I'm not sure who all makes cylinders, but European Motorworks says their cast iron cylinders are thicker than AA Performance cylinders. Is a thicker cylinder wall better?
Any shared experience with these options is welcomed.
I'm also needing a recommendation on the piston rings...Total Seal, Hastings, another brand? I will be using JE forged pistons.

Thanks everyone.

I used AA 96 mm Biral cylinders. Engine runs cool.
