Both of my cars, TR3A and Warwick are 87mm. The TR3A is stock crank w/scroll
seal, stock rods, AE pistons.  The Warwick has pop up pistons, corrella
rods, billet crank.  I feel the TR3A runs just as good and I just pulled it
down after 90 race hours. Will be replacing rings and bearings only. The
rest looked good and I had the crank magnifluxed for cracks. There were
none. Polished the journals and back together.

Jack, you can add me to the 87mm bore club.  Mike Jackson too, as far as I
know.

  In an attempt to rein in rampant rules bending, VSCDA will be
  enforcing displacement, weight and brake originality starting with
  the 2007 season. The club is using a very wise approach. All
  competitors were notified prior to the 2006 season and were given a
  full year to bring their cars into compliance.  Cars not in
  compliance will not be turned away but will generally run in the same
  group but in a class designated for modified cars.
 
  I know that these cars have 87 mm bores:
 
  Jack Drews
  Tony Drews
  Joe Alexander
  Joe Alexander (AMBRO under construction)
  John Fridirici
  Bob Wismer
  Bill Dentinger
  (sorry, forgot first name) Suhre - former Don Brick car
  Dennis Delap TR3
  Dennis Delap TR4 (beautiful, fresh race car, you've got to see it)
  Irv Korey (why would anybody build a new TR vintage racer when this
  one is for sale?)
  Henry Frye (at least he used to, but Henry, you're going suspiciously
  fast nowadays)
  John James
  Mark York
  Doug Karon (Ambro in Minneapolis)
  Cary Perket (TR3 in storage)
  Gary Schneider (former Chip Bond SCCA car)
  Robert Houston
 
  Like Tony, I have no particular quarrel with cars prepared
  differently. But, on the other hand, I'd like to know, so that in the
  rare instance when I might beat one of those guys, I can privately
  chortle over the accomplishment.
