Re: what *is* max overbore for an MGA1500?

["A D" <mooshupork7@hotmail.com>]

I have a 1960 MGA 1600.  The cylinders are overbored to +0.060.  I thought 
the maximum was +0.040 too.  None of the usual vendors had +0.040 pistons at 
the time of my engine rebuild.  So I had purchased new liners and standard 
pistons.  The MG mechanic who bored out the cylinders told me there was no 
problem with +0.060, so I ordered the available pistons.  (My crank shaft is 
now -0.020.)  At 800 miles since rebuild, so far, so good.
