next week ill be having the machinist.bore out the block for 96mm liners, does anyone know of any problems I might run into?

 

are you boring-and-stroking ?
How big are you going capacity-wise?
What is your aim - road car? race?
just interested..

 

biggest issues are someone that dont do liner at all or much and not doing it correctly at YOUR expense for damage. Get a warranty in writing against thing like liner drop or movement which I understand are the biggest iisues. Keep in mind that as large as Houston is, theres really only 1 shop that is reputable in the area for liners. And Ive talked to a few people that had others do liners and had dropping issues. You wouldnt think it would be difficult but evidently it is.....good luck

 

the liners are flanged liners, so they won't drop, and the liners are 96mm bore and the crank was stroked to 74.5mm

 

radius = 4.8cm
stroke = 7.45 cm
12 cylinders

3.14 x 4.8 x 4.8 x 7.45 x 12 = 6470 cc

you big beauty...

 

Remember the liners are slip fit and NOT PRESSED in, make sure there is clearance between the liner flanges. I can't remember off the top of my head but I think the clearance was a few thou.

 

Rob sent me a set of instructions, i was just double checking to make sure i had not forgotten anything i should know before the shop bores them out.

after this its just getting the rods lathed down and then the motor can be assembled
