Dunno mate but my 16valver block of choice has liners, though, low milege. If its good bad, don't know but I can still use standard size pistons which no one wants these days On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

it should see you out bri you dont get much wear on the A+ blocks NONE linered compared to the A blocks why this is so, there may be many reasons meterial spec etc etc..... any one know? or care to speculate! I don't have the same experiance at all. The A blocks I've dismantled with known milage has got exactly the same wear as the A+ ones. I do not think that the material has changed much. Infact, Vizard states that the A+ block are made of inferior material than the A ones due to cost reduction. Rods are inferior on A+ engines as well. 80ies were the cost reducing decade, and just bacause some bearing or journal became bigger on the A+ does not mean it's better, just cheaper.

Not talking about A and A+,The block I have is A+ from the time they(alegedly) had casting problems and instead of chucking the blocks,rover decided to rebore them and fit liners

what can you rebore the linered blocks to? same as std? or would a 1380+ be out of the question? +.040" I think although I have read that they don't like boring them as they are hard

most places will turn your linered block away as they are much harder to rebore, +40 is also a bit sketchy as it leaves a very thin liner.
I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

As far as I know, you can take linered block to 1380, but you need to remove the liners first :)

Are the liners steel? The ones I've fitted recently have been iron.

The only backside on liners is that if they don't have a proper collar on top, this might cause some headgasket issues on the A-series. Seen it a couple of times. Downside? Vegard. I have had no problems with the liners I fitted to the 16v. I did however have them fitted such that they sit on the original bores at the very bottom, that way, they wont move up, nor down. Infact you would be hard pushed to determine whether liners were fitted On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

I've got one A block with liners with a heavy ridge, out of a Riley, smoked like a pig. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

I have an A+ block which is linered and needs boring to +40 to clean it up to be of any use. Minisport refused to bore it to 1360 because they said it was already beyond that if the liners were removed so I,m now confused by the earlier assertion that a linered block can go to 1380.I have never heard of steel liners, either. |
