always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

Why would a highly revving motor change the matter??

Urban legends me thinks....

More force in the ring reversal area at high rpms?

Of course. The speed in the reversal areas is ZERO, so that makes sense.

All new cars have got liners ( well almost) Why if this is so bad???

I said force... as in F=MA

At higher RPMs the accelertaion is greater, is it not?

Why do new car have them? Probably because they have alloy blocks and liners are cheap!

I had the camera in the garage earlier so took a picture to help people identify linered blocks.



In the picture at the edge of the bores there is quite clearly visible the end of the liner.

cheers tom does that mean i have a linered block as mine looks the same but not sure if the lip is that big hope this link works

sorry didnt think it would be that big and pic is a bit unclear, anyone interested in buying it as morspeed wont accept a linered block? here is the other bores

gav it doesnt look lineared to me, if you look at toms pic you can clearly see the liners potruding past the bores, your same pic you can see it just looks all part of the block,

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

yeah looks like its got no liners to me as well

thought i might be wrong jus wondered why there is a bit cutout, cheers though

Cheers dave

Ive not had a block lately without any in!! It confirms i wasnt going mad and i knew what liners looked like! lol! i was getting to the stage where i thought i didnt have a clue!

then again maybe i dont

Thats not got liners Gav,

I have used blocks with liners before even out to 73.5mm, Its a chance you have to take now as there getting difficult to find.

I very much doubt you will get a problem boring it out to +020.

Morspeed----
The choice of champions!
Ask yourself? why do most championship winning minis use morspeed?

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.

There is a pic of both

Tom's pic has liners, gav's doesnt

Yes I think you are maybe looking at the wrong photo. Have a look on page 1 of this thread....

Gavs has no liners and turbodaves DOES have liners.
Your lookin at the wrong picture Doodmeister.

just to further confuse it, That's not my picture. It's Tom's that has the liners.


So, Are these only on really early blocks, or did they just feature on turbo's mainly?

Edited by turbodave16v on 14th Apr, 2005.

ive got late blocks and early blocks with liners think its random, no1 seems to know why or when they fitted them and to which engines!

what a pain! havent had time to get my latest find off its box to find out but thats a late unleaded mg metro motor.

Late blocks as in '88 / '89 / '90 or even later (with the casting numbers in the front?)

err. il check in a second mate

yep, casting numbers on the front, not sure what type of mains so cant tell exactly how late but casting numbers means it fairly late yeah?
