  • is +1.0mm oversize safe?

    My 200 block has already been re bored to +0.5mm oversize. And now no 3 piston has part melted and scored the bore. So if I get it re bored to +1.0mm oversize woyld this be ok for around 400 bhp?? Cant really afford a new block :-(
    New project on !! Another Cosworth coming soon!!

    I think folk with have different opinions on this. I had a 1mm overbore on an early 4x4 due to an oval bore, it ran 350ish for many years afterwards with no issues. After I sold it it was upgraded to around 440, and as far as I know (from seeing photos of it) it's still going and it looks to be on the same block.

        If your not happy, get it re lined back to standard bore.

            I presume Dave meant normal steel liners

              Ah gotchya, would just assume Nikasil since most go for big power these days

                Sure Mark Shead does different spec liners. Might be worth a call

                  yes, just normal liners would do the job, even maybe just one liner in the one that's fooked to get it to 0.5 to match the others.

                    The first engine in my car was 1.0mm over size , was fine for a good few years running 400bhp , eventually the block cracked right down one of the cylinders ,
                    If it were me I'd fit a set of liners and bring back to std size

                          Rough cost to drop liners in?
