323 m20 engine rebuild

Post by Vic »

Hey guys,

Whilst in the process of restoring my S edition, I've had the head and block dismantled; the heads been rebuilt nice, the block however, has some wear in the bores ;(.

The machine guys have re-honed each, but has said they're slighly worn and may cause issues afterwards. I've read that even a wear of 0.1mm is classed as worn?

Am in a bit of a dilemma now, don't want to rebore and spend an arm and leg, does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this?

Considering searching for another block, maybe a member from the forum has one or whole engine?

Would appreciate any help, the engine has covered only 115k.

Thanks
