They will usually go safely to 88mm with enough meat left to stop bore
flex. The occasional one will go out to 89.5mm. This is the largest L18W
bore I have heard of and It eventually split a bore.

Thrillseekers,
Due to a bizarre twist of fate, a local auto wrecker has given me a free
complete L18W engine from a 610. I have only seen it at night in the car
so I have no idea what head is on it but it is a definite W block.
I have never had a W block before, as I have always been content destroying
nomal L18's. I therefore need to know what cylinder wall thicknessesI am
looking at, i.e. what can I 'safely' bore it to, and what head will
probably be on it. It will be standard as it is on a four door, ll the
plates match the stamps, and carb/exhaust are all standard.
How hard are the bores? Do they withstand outrageous stroke:rod ratios?
Is it better to fit an L20crank or just prep the L18 crank and make it rev?
I could wait until I pick it up and disassemble it, but where would the fun
be in that?
Thanks
Brad
