Best Answer

If you pull the cylinder head off (not recommended if you can't answer your won question) you can measure the inside diameter of the cylinder. This will give you the bore of the cylinder. The correct way to find out the answer though is to check a shop manual for the year, make, model and engine you're working on and GO BY THE BOOK!

Piston's seized in block?

That's entirely what they are used for. A normal piston will push a block up, or across, but not pull it back when it retracts. If you need the block to get pulled back, use a Sticky Piston instead.
