Rebore

[dccuff]

I am rebuilding a 3000 engine and the bores need rebore get but only minimal.
my question is would it be an advantage to go for a maximum rebore while it's being done to increase cc and hopeful increase hp.
i would like a nice fast road engine.

Couple of thoughts:

*  Consider this in relation to what else you are planning to do with the engine and whether all of the changes work well together.

*  Decide on what pistons you want to use - they may be only available in certain sizes.

* (Yes I know more than a couple !!) but if you go to the max and something unplanned happens, it leaves you with little scope for recovery - well without major work.

bbh has it in a nutshell. Never go to max re-bore just in case you trash the engine later and find yourself with nothing left but a coffee table support.
