Hi Alvaro,
It's no problem to go 1.00 mm (0.040 inch) oversize - the block is very strong. My new engine (which, I admit, has not been run yet) has 0.040 oversize pistons, my engine shop had them made by Ross Racing Pistons (rosspistons.com)because I wanted to raise the compression ratio (not a lot, just up to 8.5:1 which was the same level as the APC "H" 8-valve engines).
Good luck!
Gary
