DJ194950 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Posted September 19, 2013 i have a d24 block already bored .060, can i take it to .080 safely? Take it to a machine shop that can sonic test it. They can determine if it's thick enough to stand that much overbore. Sleeves are not actually that expensive, I was surprised! Bore-press in sleeves, hone to std. maybe overbore sizes are avail. I believe good/reasonably priced parts are avail. at Terrel Machine-Texas Think there is a link to them in the Resources tab- then suppliers Good luck Doug Quote

We sonic-tested my 230 block, 4 shots each at the top, middle and bottom of each bore. I had LOTS of metal in all locations. Because of the particular rings and pistons we used, mine wound up at 0.072" oversize. Marty 1 Quote
