Well of course theres problems with cylinder wall flex. Im sure as hell
that my A14 wont have that problem. Maybe if your thinking of turboing an
A14 u may want to keep the boring to a minimum as theres obviously more
pressure in the cylinders. As far as i know 140thou is the most u can go
with out cylinder wall flex. Im sure some fool out there has tried 160thou
and found out the hard way tho. Dont stress too much about cylinder wall
flex, its not a problem unless u make it a problem.
