How much is too much?
The build that i am interested in is a ls/vtec build. I want to know how much i can bore before it becomes unsafe and/or if i will need to resleeve.
The block that I have is a b18A1 block. Pretty standard. However the pistons that I wish to use are 84.5mm pistons (RS b20 84.5 ITR pistons). WIll the bore leave the walls to thin? Or will it be okay?
