Will it run much hotter .040 over?

Same, mine is 0.040 over and I never hit the 180 mark. If memory serves correctly, 0.060 over is the furthest you can go.- Brian Meissen

Yes 60 over is far as you can safely go. There is a guy on Tech that has his bored .060 over with a 4.00" crank making it a 414ci LTx.Originally posted by Yoshi94sigpicOriginally posted by ryanwarby01Comment

.060 has been done, but I've always heard guys say to sonic check the block's cylinder wall thickness before going that far. I've never heard of anyone having problems with .040 but listen to your machinist above all else.Comment
