the liners have to be stepped else it will do exactly how you said drop down

the company i use a lot do a lot of liners for jag,ferrari old skool blocks

all v8

basically they cut the old bore out to the size of the liner, also step the block so the liner sits in

next they heat the block up and the liners on in liquid nitrogen to shrink them or sumthing

once ready the bore is siliconed and the liner put into the block

the silicon id imagine is to stop oil coming up between the liners and block

then the liners are presed into the block

then the block is machined flat again and then bored to what ever size the pistons are


thsi is how i think its done from what ive seen but never asked how each step goes about

bud-weis

my engine came out f a 4wd car, but has a 205 block in

everything on the car was 4wd bar the block



hence asking if its worth changing blocks, but it means id have to have pistons

but would like it std bore
