Swap the pistons etc over then. Its ESSENTIAL the crank sensor is spot on, and you have to drill a 31mm hole, which aint guna be the easiest job.

Seriously rebuild the pistons etc into the EFI block if you can.

I would much rather drill an oil return over a CPS hole any day (P.S ill be drilling my CPS hole for mine soon )

Nah the blocks are the same, same bore sizes and everything.

Is the MFI block standard bore size?
