Ira, 

These engines can be rebuilt many times over the years if need be. Boring to
+.060" oversize is acceptable, then if need be, they can be sleeved back to
standard size and start all over again. Theoretically our grandchildren will
still be able to put the miles on these engines.

My BT7 engine is bored 40 over. I see on ahead4healeys' site that they have
.60 over piston and ring sets.
I have always feared what would happen if I ever had to rebuild my engine
again?
So the question is can I use .60 over pistons safely in my 29D street
engine, if need be?
With around 30K on the engine, I hope this will not be an issue during my
lifetime, but just in case......
Thanks
