Hey all, the 1100 that was 60thou over has been pulled down and sent to the local engine recon guys. They say it’s outside tolerances and we either scrap the block or go 80 thou over with 68mm GR pistons. I’m keen to go with 68mm but my dad is concerned with overheating and reliability. Anyone built a 1098 with GR pistons please comment on reliability? It’s not a race engine but a weekend driver on club plates.
Thanks Matt

68mm will need more than just a rebore. However, 80" or 100" over are perfectly fine. Don't go overboard on cam and head mods and you wil have a nice Weekend driver.

I have built 4 motors with 68 mm bore.
68 mm needs the bores offset, a 1275 gasket and some water holes moved to suit it. Bore it to +080 or +100, no such problems.

If boring to +.100" or less just straight bore it.

Note that 68mm is +.133" oversize from standard 998 and 1098 bore.
So boring to +.080" and +.100" is no big deal.
