  Some people bore them 0.125" oversize, but I like to set an upper limit of 0.062".

  The less you bore the less likely you are to have problems. I like to trade a few less cubes for a little more reliability unless I was doing some serious racing.

  To answer the question, 3/16" or .187" =3-3/8" is max. 1/8" or .125" =3-5/16" is safe & comfortable.
