Title: Engine Conundrum Post by: lancianut666 on 11 August, 2022, 10:23:08 AM Hi all
We have a Consortium member with engine issues. His S1 block has been bored out to 68.8 but there is still damage showing in the bores requiring a further rebore. So are 69mm pistons available and can the block be bored out to 69mm? The consortium has no S1 blocks or spare engines at present. The alternative would be to fit a S2/3 engine and gearbox but the owner does not want to go down that route yet. So a big shout for advice and if possible some S1 engine bits.

I have 2 spare blocks but not sure which series they are - ie I may be able to help Title: Re: Engine Conundrum Post by: lancianut666 on 11 August, 2022, 02:12:28 PM Good point...I am not sure either...I know both types don't half hurt when you stub your toe on one.
