just bought a 205 block for my cossie got it for a bargin price of ...........£10. was described as needing a re-bore expected it to be shabby well it turned up today and dont look to bad to me 1 and 4 look fine . 2 and 3 can see i line going down them but cant feel anything out of the ordinary. so here i ask could it need just a hone or would it be best to re-bore it. by the way its on std bore at the moment.

You could probably weigh it in for more than a tenner, bargain buy!

 

well cost me a tenner then postage which was 9 quid so all good for 19 id say lol

 

get it measured up at the worst it may need a .25mm overbore which is perfectly acceptable

 

excuse the thickness lol measure what up bud?

 

Measure the bores

 

was that on ebay a week ago~??

said it needs align bore?

 

basic pinto block!!-----
loads in scrappers in notts-

 

yes

 

a line bore would mean the main bearings, yes?

 

just had a rough measure up got 90.6 sound about right for std bore?

 

Could be ok with the alignment of the bores. Needs to be checked as their position determines the centerline of the crankshaft and how the crank aligns with the cylinders, Misalignment in the main bores can cause binding and premature main bearing wear.

 

from my experience of a 2.2 pinto i built

 

best get a machine shop to check it. as it seems to have been wearing on the side of the cylinders

 

cheers for replys lads . any recomendations of where to send it ? somewhere that maybe knows about cossie lumps . rang a local machine place yesterday his replys didnt make me want to send it to him.
