Cosworth bore size??
Did a quick search but nothing jumped out at me so sorry if I missed it.
I measured my block today for the Sapph Im rebuilding and just wondered what size was standard, so I know if I need to get it .25 or .5 etc.
The measurements I took were, as if you were stood lookng into the bay of the car, from left to right in the bore and front to back to check for ovalling too.
This is what I got anyway.....
Cylinder 1. L-R = 90.80mm F-R = 90.40mm
Cylinder 2. L-R = 90.65mm F-R = 90.60mm
Cylinder 3. L-R = 90.49mm F-R = 90.71mm
Cylinder 4. L-R = 90.62mm F-R = 90.61mm
Those sound about right or do you think Im doing something wrong??
There is a slight lip at the top of the bore and now I come to think of it thats where I measured from, do I need to measure under the lip?? If so, how??
If it makes any difference Im using one of these http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item....re&dir=catalog
I also measured my head too while I was on and got...
Front - 139.15mm
Rear - 138.92mm

A bore guage is better for measuring but what you have used is good enough to get some figures.
