- Hi all, I started an engine rebuild on a '69 TR6. The block was bored out to .030 over years ago. And now my machine shop is telling me that it needs another boring out, preferably another .030 over.

- Be careful when talking to machinists. I am convinced that they will be too conservative in most cases which ends up costing you money because you are afraid to say no to any recommendations they ma

- My bad. BPNW offers pistons in 0.030", 0.040" or 0.060" oversize, but NOT 0.050" over. Sorry for the flub. Vance Mike: Be careful when talking to machinists. I am convinced that they will be too con

- I would be very interested to hear why your machinist thinks a re sleeve is a bad idea. Also I have a Austin-Healey that is .060 bored and it does just fine. Good luck, Gary Fuqua Branson, MO

- It's because the machinist doesn't know how to do that job. A well equipped shop can do a TR6 re-sleeve. But it's usually cheaper to replace the block. So, based on COST, the re-sleeve may be impract

- A 0.060" overbore is just fine for street usage, and will eke out a little more displacement and a couple more horsepower. The only drawback is that if the engine needs to be rebuilt again, you must

- Another thought would be to substitute the standard (oversize) Triumph pistons with those from an E series Mazda (standard bore size). These will most certainly be chepaer than the Triumph ones and
