well, ladies and gentlemen...
IT'S F_CKED!
'not to bore + chuck it out' is the answer to the question.
had a guy look at it today, and immediately says..."needs a bore, dont need a micrometer to tell you that".
rule of thumb, apparently, is if the crosshatching of the last hone has gone completley, so the bore has a mirror finish, then there will be taper. taper=rebore.
GT: im not comfortable going to 85mm. sure, i might find some 85mm pistons to fit (remember the piston pins on the L18/20 is 20mm so i'd have to make inserts for the conrod eyes to bring 22mm down to 20mm) its also possible that an 85mm 2T or 3T piston would work depending on rod length... BUT i just dont reckon theres enough meat left in the block to hack it.
SO
new block....
CORVID: can you measure the bore on that block youve got, and tell me if its 83mm? plus, can you have a peak in the water jackets, and see if theres much shit in there??
cheers
