Adam, The bores have a high alloy content of silicon I believe. This makes them more resistant to friction. Cheers Trev

I know the block is alloy but I wouldn't think the rings would chew out the alloy pretty quick. -----Original Message----- From: Brad Hallett [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 05/12/2001 14:13 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: FJ20 - max power Yes it is a dud story. FJ24 was the original beast, specifically built for rallying. If they built an FJ40DET I am ure we would all have thir pics on our desktop :-) Interesting that it was mentioned JUN use sleeves in the SR to get big HP. You are nuts if you try and get 400+ out of any aluminium block without bore and sleeve work. The beauty of sleeves is you can reduce bore flex at 8000+RPM by going thicker (at the expense of reducing cooling efficiency of course) --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
