When you have it line bored, it will bring the crankshaft a tiny bit closer to the camshaft, which results in excessive "slop" in the timing chain. You'll need to get a timing chain that will be a little tighter. They sell them based on the amount that was removed from the main bearing webs in the block.

Can you accurately determine how much was removed from the webs? What increments do they sell the timing chains in?

You would need to get that information from the machine shop that did the work.

What increments do they sell the timing chains in?
I don't recall the specific amounts; you could check with the manufacturers.
