Not keen on liners as that is they had something to do with the last block perishing I'm sure.

I have bought stuff from Matt Lewis Motorsport before, so when I figure out what I am doing I may do so again.

Thanks,

Damion.
Sorry Damion, only just seen this reply

you can bore safely from standard (which i think was 90.8 from memory) to +1mm, this is common place and not a problem.

if the block/ bores are in good condition you can go as much as 93mm but this might question the strength etc

Matt
