Whats my bore?

if it is only .20 over than no it is not a 2.3L. your bore size is 85.50 and stock is 85.00. if you have a 100mm crank then it will be a 2.3L stroker motor
 
no problem.

and for future reference here is a guide i guess you could say for bore size's on our motors.
stock-85.00mm
.20 over-85.50mm
.40 over-86.00mm
.60 over-86.50mm

as long as i am correct that is right.
 
Please state it correctly. It's .020", .040" overbore. If you say it's a .20" bore, that's damn near 1/4"!! Just a pet peeve of mine. That little missing zero makes a HUGE difference in size. With the .020" overbore, your displacement just went from 1997cc to 2020cc. You now have a 2.02L motor!

In order to get a true 2.3L (actually 2.32L), you stick a 100mm stroke crank out of a 2.4L in your block, along with boring the cylinders out .040".

thank you!! its one of mine too!
 
I once poked fun at a vendor on here stating .20 over such and such pistons yada yada...

He cried and I got an infraction.

How in the hell can you push performance parts claiming the pistons are .20" overbore.

You all can see that it's a very large pet peeve of mine especially since I'm a mechanical designer...
 
Strm_Trpr..... I can understand that... alot of people have a hard time to think right of the decmial...

ok so you design it.... I am the guy who machines it.. been an engine machinist since 1992

it be ashame but still funny if some one dropped there block off to be bored .20 then come back with .020 pistons...

customer. you F&$%k up my block.....
machinist. No I didnt, I bored it to what you wrote down.
