colinworth79 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I going to start building another gsxr 1100 engine using an ape block . I purchase the block with one of the liners damaged after a piston melted . Has anyone had a similar block re lined and by who ? Quote Link to comment
Duckndive Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 DIY stick block in the oven for 30 mins the liners will drop out.... Well the block will drop off the liners actually 1 Quote Link to comment
jameskat Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Roger Upperton is my usual font of knowledge, if he cant do it he will know who can and I find him fairly priced and his work is excellent. Quote Link to comment

colinworth79 Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 yes the O/D of the liner is 89mm or 3.5 inch Quote Link to comment
kja.busa Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Roger Upperton is the best choice, just relinered and bored a block for me, absolutely spot on too Quote Link to comment
colinworth79 Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) contacted Mr upperton today relining the block is ok but he cant get any low comp pistons in 85 mm , I cant believe I'm the first person to turbo a big block gsxr motor ?

Gixer1460 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 They came from Cosworth and I think final CR was between 9.5 and 9:1. I don't think they were widely available, wink wink, say no more, know wot I mean! Quote Link to comment
Swirl Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 how have you got on with that CR or have you used a thicker base gasket to lower it further Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 That's what it was designed for so never changed. Nice off throttle and still gives 180+hp NA. Quote Link to comment
