Default Can a Zetec 1800 block be bored out to..

hi all,

i have a zetec turbo fiesta but i am wanting to build a new bottom end, thing is i only have a rs1800 engine to hand

can the 1800 be bored out to a 2000 ?

you can bore it 2.5mm over which is roughly 1930cc. PEC do pistons for 1800 in forged material.
