Just a quick question gents.
I'm awaiting return of my bottom end, which is currently being rebored +40 using Omega pistons from PM.
Out of sheer curiosity what cc will this now give?
Burton used to have a list showing the increase in cc in relation to overbore sizes, but it doesn't appear to be there anymore, and I'm too thick to work it out.
Cheers.

Hi, 40 thou is 1mm so do your bore x stroke based on adding 1mm to the bore diameter.
If I remember my high school maths, the formula is 2 times pi times radius (half your new diameter) times stroke
Won't be much different from standard I don't think

Capacity is Pi*Rsquared*stroke*no. of cylinders.
Your 40 thou overbore gives 1595 cc.

Oops yes 2 x PI x radius is circumference....with apologies to my maths teacher, turning over in his grave no doubt
