I have found one of my spare blocks to be linered and was wondering if there are any other drawbacks? On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

Some folks hate them, but their comments seem somewhat flawed.

The liners stick out past the bottom of the bore (or has on the blocks i've seen) meaning that you won't be able to fit oil jets for the pistons should you wish too.

I'm using a linered block, for the reasons as outlined above, plus the fact I already had it.

This is good news for me, I brought a car kicking a screaming over from Australia that is on +.60 already and it's liped and I obviously can't get another block easily so at least I have the liner option. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

I'd use them in preference to any other block. Must be a way around oil jet issues? Pop up a pic. I will do when The light is good in the morning. On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

Also as a bit of forward planning, I am only 19 and trying to stockpile a few blocks before they become proporly scarce at standard or near standard bore. what milage would you expect from a turbo engine, running at 120-130 bananas, driven reasonably hard but not thrashed before a rebore is necessary.

Most factory engines with liners fitted had all four cylinders honed at the same time, and the bores aren't always centralised in the liners if than makes sense. That means that most blocks are only good for a +20 rebore at most, unless you replace the liners. I've got Roger's old cooper block in the back of my garage and the factory bore is so off centre that it needs to be relined before it'll take a +10 rebore. EDIT: Before anyone states the obvious; the shitey bolts on the central strap have now gone. Edited by Rob H on 30th Apr, 2007. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

heres some pics of my block, it is at standard bore, also the liners stick out about 2mm proud out the bottom of the cylinders.
