shee rips Posted August 10, 2007 Report Posted August 10, 2007 boring .90 over is this good and what do u think i should do i dont think its good to go past .080 thats what ive read on here. Quote
Michael Jackson Posted August 10, 2007 Report Posted August 10, 2007 ive heard the same thing, time to re sleeve i heard anything over .080 over and you risk overheating and other things Quote
locogato11283 Posted August 10, 2007 Report Posted August 10, 2007 for the money it would cost you to resleave you could prolly find some used stock cylinders 20 or 30 over.. Quote
swrbansheeboy Posted August 10, 2007 Report Posted August 10, 2007 i agree, the last set of cylinders we had re-sleaved cost around $750 after port matching/machining and labor... Quote
87sheerips Posted August 11, 2007 Report Posted August 11, 2007 Id go for it man, I ran a set of .100 over cyls for 2 seasons with no problems. Actually ir ran awesome. But when it came time for porting, I got new jugs and started over. Especially if money is an issue, I wouldnt hesistate! Quote

But when it came time for porting, I got new jugs and started over. Especially if money is an issue, I wouldnt hesistate! I'd agree with that. .090 and .100 over is pushing it simply because as the sleeve heats, it warps and wears the piston pretty fast. The thinner they are, the worse they warp. That being said, that is better than running it until it blows. I am curious if you need a bore?? Are you sure your bore is out of whack?? New pistons will generally get you back in tolerance as long as the bore is still good. If you have no one to measure the bore for out of round and taper, we always offer that service free.
