1127 slugs in 1052 barrels capacity increase?

[Ben Slabby]

Just a quick un, what final capacity do 1127 pistons into 1052 slabby give? Spanks. ;)

Bore to fit 1109cc

[Ben Slabby]

Cool, cheers. :)

[banditman]

Is this worth doing and is it pretty much straight forward? 

[Fula28]

May as well get cases bored and go 1157? 

[banditman]

So will the 1052 barrels bore out to 1127 pistons ok? 

 

 

I have a few sets lol better get digging them out ;-)

[kokolis]

Yes, 1052 liners can be bored 2mm out and 1127 pistons can be fitted, it gives 1109 though  cause of the stroke difference

1137cc. Don't forget it's 1mm shorter stroke. 

[Fula28]

Yup with 1137cc you need to deck block by 0.040" to get comp correction on 1157.

Sounds like a plan then. Now where did I put them pistons?

1109cc must give a bit more grunt.

Easy I suppose when you have a mate with a boring tool haha. Looks like John has more work coming his way haha.

If you are going to bore out your 1052 block, imo not worth the exercise. By the time you pay for block machining, rings, 1127 pistons, gaskets, etc..... Better off getting a 1127 block (cheap) and 81mm kit. Will yield 1186, from memory, at not too much more cost. Difference, you will notice....You will need to bore your cases to fit,  I've done it before with a dremel, easier than it looks

for me I do have a friend tht can rebore barrles and I have two sets of 1127 pistons and rings so I'm thinking it will cost me the cost of a gasket set and a drink for my mate hehe.
