You have corrosion or crude built up on the studs, hanging on a piston skirt?

Engine case is a T0, 1600 single port, from January 1966.
Once the case is clean I will take to a local VW shop to be measured and line bored if needed.
Case has been bored once before at .25mm/010", according to the bearings I removed.
Just got Tom Wilson's 'How to rebuild your aircooled Volkswagen engine' book.
Reading on what direction I will eventually go but most likely motor will remain fairly stock.
At this point I am wide open to tips and thoughts.
