All,
I know the 1800 engines can be bored in excess of .040 but how will the 1500
blocks or 1600 blocks hold up to a .060 overbore? What's the condensed info
on resleeving the cylinders? Can you return to original bore and does it hold
up
better or as well or? How is the cooling do after a resleeve? How are the
sleeves
held in place and what are they made of? Can you overbore larger than you would
do so normally because of the better material used.
Thanks,
Gregg Baker

I tore down the engine in my A and discovered the bug fogger effect upon
decelleration was the result of a broken snapring on the end of a wrist pin.
Result: scored cylender wall, burned piston. Oh well, if one is to find
something like that, it is good to find it in your own garage.
I'll need to resleve that cylender, and am trying to find a good piston to
replace the one that has departed this life.
I have a B GH engine in the car. I was running .040 over hepolites (4 ring
variety). Would anyone have one such piston in good order that they are
willing to part with? Failing that, I plan to rebuild an 18V engine in the
back of the shop for it. Lowrie, if you are listening what would you charge
for a set of .060 over 8.75 pistons for the 18V engine that Moss came out
with a few months ago?
Thanks to all.
