Is it fine to bore it out to 40 thou ? Will it weaken the block much ? I figure I fresh bore for fresh pistons would be a smart move.

Thanks.
mahles are forged as standard my friend and are good for 500bhp is standard format

the 205 blocks are on there limit at .5 bored, so i would either go for that or maybe look at getting the block lined

best person to source them (Pistons, bearing, shells etc) is Matt Lewis motosport in England, if you cant source them in OZ
