Having blown a hole through the head of my 75', so called 2.0 I have now found that the bore has been taken out to 103mm by a PO. If I can I would like to replace the cylinders with smaller bores because I have to do cylinders and therfore pistons anyway because of damage to the cooling vanes.
Question is the size of the outer diameter of the cylinder in the block is 108.3. Does anyone know whether I am likely to get cylinders with a smaller bore that would fit this block. I suspect the 96mm cylinders will be around the 105mm ID in the block? Ideally the answer would be that the 96mm bore cylinders also have an OD of 108.3 but I won't hold my breath! Sorry, I guess this is in the wrong Forum |

or, you could press in a sleeve into the case to bring it back to 96mm cylinders.
Ask Chris Foley about this...he may be able to help. Rich |
