205 block
#4
I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
That's shite, any chance of returning it? Personally I wouldn't use it after .5 over as they are plentiful and any further I'd be worried but that's my opinion im no expert.

I have 92mm pistons running too much boost 2.2b with T4 on a 205 for 7+ years now. It will let go in the end obviously but its great while it lasts
not ideal but I had the pistons and random block so why not.
I wouldnt advise it unless your prepared for total destruction. Better off buying a 200block if building a new engine for the sake of it. lets face it a 205 block is worth 100quid. For 500 more you have peace of mind.

I'm sure I friend of mines was 92.5 and went through the bore at that on a 205.
Why not save yourself a crank/ rods etc and stick a 200 in now?

I can't remember the last time I saw a good 200 block go for 5-600?!!!
Know how you feel though mate, I bought an engine off someone on here when I bought my saph as a temp one in 2006 as when I bought it off a mate it needed a rebuild.
Paid £1500 although a mate picked it up for me and dropped it off. At the same time I was buying a house and although I had fitted the engine it didn't want to run right and just got left. Eventually got round to it and oil/water had mixed so assumed hg failed. Took it off and the block had cracked round 3 bolt holes!! Obviously messaged the guy but he said it was fine when he has it and how does he know I didn't use it/rag the shit out of it etc blah blah, it had never been on the bloody road 😂😂 paid an expensive lesson that day!!
