Frost,
I didn't ask for your smart ***** remark. I if wanted a smart ***** remark I would asked for it. I asked for help, IF YOU CAN'T HELP DON'T REPLY!!! There's some many smart ***** people on this website it's pathetic. You people think you know everything. I was told by a professional at my hobby shop that I can bore out my engine. He even showed me one of his bored out engines. My engine's time is not up it's running fine.
adr_ian64,
My engine doesn't need rebuilding yet.
N-Rusty17,
If I can't bore my .18 can I bore a .12 to hold a .18 displacement?
I'd rather be called a smart ***** than look like a dumb *****; how about that? If you have any concept of the piston/sleeve setup you would realize that this is rediculous. It
was helping to tell you that it was impossible; it may not be what you want to hear, but it was the answer.
Another tip, don't ask that "professional" any more questions about anything....
Oh yeah, NO you CAN'T "bore" out a .12 to .18....you would grind away the ENTIRE sleeve before you got there.... MAYBE you could stuff a sleeve and piston from an .18 into a .12 casing, but given the cost of piston and sleeve with the time&work it would take, this is economically un-sound. .18 size motors can be had NEW from 90-135 depending on what you want... you could easily pay 60 bucks for a piston/sleeve alone....
Understand you do not BORE these SLEEVED motors out, I thought I was clear.... Let's go the route of PURE fantasy here though: You bore your sleeve (ha) .005" and all of the scars are gone; where on EARTH will you find an over-sized piston? Again, this isn't a chev. 350, you can't go buy .030"-over (thirty-over) pistons for it......
