I retract my post saying do not use liners,as i have just read you are high comp and use lots of boost.Maybe it would be wise to look into std non linered block and lower the compression,high compression and top speed doesnt really look good on paper for reliability,i know folk will quote Scandinavians and rallycross cars but these are NOT top speed cars.If you want to acheive your goal Mad Yum without any spanners you need to lower that compression or you are risking MORE failures.IMO.

If you could understand i said if he stays as it is he will need more spanners,the engine needs a rebuild now,do it once and do it right for his goal,then he wont need anymore spanners.

Okay, shoot me down in flames, but when-ever compression below 8.0:1 is suggested, the Rod comes on and tells us we are way behind the times and living in the past 
.
I was only trying to help, as in if you were 8.0:1, then all those people suggesting an unlinered block are living in cloud cuckoo land, and you should retain this set up for your engine, rather than listening to them

Well the 80s music was good
But you have to be on drugs to think the T4 rocks
Im sure Mark will confirm to you that he lives in the future and not the past like your good self
Mike i think you need to stop looking in the mirror

I can't believe you numpties see it as anything other than backing up what MARK WANTS to do . I think it might be because I disagreed with the consensus that you're trying to score points?
I clearly and concisely clarified my reasoning for recommending linering the block, based on my understanding of how Mark likes to spec his engines. If you want to turn it into something else, feel free, but don't expect me to agree
. I only back-tracked (with some playful banter - even taking the piss out my own views on compression and turbos ), as my assumption about the compression was incorrect.
Might I suggest you get a life rather than trying to stir shit where there is none. If I wanted to do that, I think I would do a better job than suggesting he gets Mark to decide on the block spec .
