what does .030 mean

pistons are always marked with overbore that way, at least that is what i was taught in school and i have never seen one that wasnt
did you order the wrong pistons or the wrong rings. because this is completely inconsistent with your other threads about this motor, i think you may be seriously confused about this whole building a motor process and you may want to calm down and ask a few questions before you go ordering any more parts

If you look very closely you will see .030, on the top of the pistons, on the front cover of this book(hard to see I know...use the zoom at the top of the cover). If I recall, the motor in this book was bored .030 over. That is where I've seen it before.

and yes you should be measuring everything anyway, but if the piston says .030 on it then there is an overbore of .030

...because it is assumed that you know the engine (stock specs) that you are looking at (an LT1 isn't going to have a 3.000 bore) and the marking is the deviation from stock size. Pistons and bearings have always been marked this way. If was too confusing for folks, I think they would have changed it by now.
