Piston size question.
Im looking at SE pistons:
22853-99A
these say 1550 flat top .010does this mean they are 3.875 + .010 or are these 3.875???
if I were to have my 88" cylinders bored would it make a difference?

If you are wanting a bigger bore why not look at the kits from one of our sponsoring vendors and go up to 98 C. I. Why go only 7 inches when you can go 10 inches? Now I realize you may not want to spend 2000 - 2300 bucks but somebody should be able to sell you just the pistons, rings, and pins

Since you haven't gotten an answer, it means .010" is added. When pistons are oversized, it's conventional just to say + .005, + .010 rather than give exact measurements.
And, I highly doubt that an 88" being bored to a 95" isn't going to "clean up" as you advised him. Maybe you missed that part of his post. Just sayin...

It does no good to vasulate, postulate, guess about what might work without the facts.
The fact is the absolute cylinder size is what will dictate piston size.
Carry on.
