I've heard a lot of rumors that the over bore cylinders can not be made to seal. I'm refering to the larger bores like the 103 --> 105mm sizes. Does anyone have some feedback on their setup, how you are making out with them or how you got them to seal up?
Thanks! |

Cast iron cylinders warp causing head leaks.
If you had ever seen a case bored for 103's you'd know there's not a whole lot of material left over. Cheaping out at that size is just asking for trouble. Nickies or 96's are the only way to fly. |
