Re: engine Bore Question

It depends entirely on the engine in question. Most American V8s can get overbored 2-3 times in any one of several common oversizes. Many import 4-cylinders are aluminum and have to be resleeved almost every time.

But, for the most part, the cost of sleeving a block several times, plus the fact that it probably has exhausted most of its service life means that it becomes an unwise investment compared to just purchasing another engine.
