bore 60 over
i just got done talking to the machine shop that has my block and im getting it bored due to the previous owner of the block left water on top of the pistons causing it to rust the cylinder walls. The machine shop says that it has to be bored 60 over. I have been getting my parts through engnbldr and i cant seem to find 60 over pistons. Has anybody bored there block 60 over and where did you get your pistons. Thanks

It has always been my understanding that you shouldn't go over 40 over on a 22RE, thus probably why Ted at engnbldr doesn't carry 60 over...that speaks volumes.

i have no experience with the .060" over bore. although I'm sure you can bore it out that much! but I'm not saying he should or shouldn't.
i have done about 4 or 5 22re's with .040" over bore,
never had a problem!

Ya know after thinking about this you should just get a new/used block .If you go .60 over the walls are going to be so thin and I would bet block heat becomes an issue with such thin walls

the machinest said that he has done about a dozen 22re blocks at 60 over with no problems. I was just curious if anyone else has done this to there own rig.

at .060 over I'd just have it sleeved costs more but will let you get back to the stock piston size and a reputable shop can do it well, a good shop will not advise .060 over on anything less than a BB they would advise sleeving the cylinders or other options.
Silvo-lite, Keith Black, and Eagle all make that size piston but for another application. If you can get the Actual Diameter, Pin Spacing and Pin Diameter. I might can find something (But cheap it aint gonna be)

well my family has been going to this shop for 20 something years and he is very reputable. He advised me sleeving the cylinders but that would cost way to much. And getting a new block is out of the question as to i dont have that much money.

If your gonna sleeve only one and go 40 with the rest you better 40 over the sleeve job.
uneven piston compression can put you right back where you are now or even worse requiring a new head or block.

Of course i would bore the sleve. Im just saying that if that one cylinder wont clean up after going 40 then i would sleve it and bore the sleve to 40 as well and call it a day. I didnt realize going 60 was that much a pita but i guess it is. I would rather go 40 and not worry about my walls being so thin

My block is in the machine shop. It has to go 60 over and my machinist said it was OK too. He is the only shop in town that builds racing engines and has been building them for many years, 22R's included.
LEt's get this straight though. It is NOT 60 over. It is 1.5mm and do not bore to 60 because they are not the same thing. We found some 1.5 mm pistons through sealed power I think. If you can't find some send me a PM and I will find out where we are getting them. Toyota carries 1mm but I am not sure about 1.5mm.
