        Question to both groups.  What is the maximum bore size that can be
safely used in a Rover 3.9 (241 CI) block.  Specifically, can it go to +
.036" to take Chevy 305 pistons (3.736 Bore)?  Apparently these sleeves are
thinner than in Rover 3.5 or Buick/Olds F-85 blocks, but how much thinner?
I hope someone can answer this.

Cheers, Dave Kernberger
