Terry,

My MGTF had a cracked block when I bought it for $200 in 1966. The previous 
owner had bored it .080" over! I had it sleeved (all four) and, since the 
.080" oversize pistons were almost new, had the sleeves bored .080" over to 
fit. Fast forward to this evening when I fired it up for the first time 
since last September. It started immediately without changing petrol or 
charging the battery. Runs smooth as silk. I have done dozens of engines 
since this one, my very first, and have never had a better, smoother running 
4 banger than this TF.
