No problem. Especially for factory installed liners.

One of the blocks I have (and am considering using) also appears to have liners, presumably factory fitted due to (from what I have read), porous blocks after casting, but do the factory lined blocks have any limitations other than overbore size if we use them ???
Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |

The only problem I've found with factory fitted liners is the way that BMC used to hone the blocks the liners tend to be bored slightly offset making rebores a bit trickier. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

Cheers all for that info. Still dont know to go for a turbo or supercharger. Don,t fancy paying the money to supercharger it then again the money that people are paying for turbo,s and manifold is silly.

They're a fair bit about Turbo's vs Superchargers if you search around.

Just remember to have the block skimmed. It seems as sometimes, the cast iron between the liners on the deck gets "eaten" away for some reason. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

If theres any one over here in N Ireland that has a turbo mini i would be interested in having a look if they didnt mind.  Cheers StephenEffectively Supers give good low end power but fall off at higher revs, turbo is the opposite due to the delay before it kicks in. So do both 
There is no sense crying over every mistake- you just keep on trying til you run out of cake. |
